Hey Wolf. I see it similarly to CW… you two didn’t seem super close before. Likely the pregnancy brought you closer together, which is often the case, and having the baby has brought to the surface some of the issues in your relationship that you talked about before your son was born. The overprotectiveness should fade over time. There are also a lot of things going on in a woman’s body and brain following the birth that people don’t really realize unless they’ve been through it. Be patient and continue to focus on your relationship with your kids.
RE: your daughter. Perspective is everything. Spend 80% of your sessions listening…really listening. If she believes you chose your gf over her, really try to understand her view and validate it. Doesn’t mean you agree with her but it does mean that you care about how she feels. CW is on the money here…whether you are right or wrong is irrelevant.
