My friend is talking about suicide, had a baby 4 weeks ago...?

Well first off be a good friend to her. Be their to listen to her. I would then have a talk with her husband telling him you are very concerned about her she is not acting right. do not tell him what she told you about him. He will make sure she cuts off with you if he knows. He is not being mean he just is afraid that they will take the kids from her. But she just needs some medication. Tell him that and have him take her to her doctor so she can get help. Is she nursing? Nursing may be upsetting her hormones. Talk to her husband asap. Good Luck!!

It is very simple really. She needs to talk to her Objen or GP Dr. This happens after haveing a baby, the more the worse it seems to be for some. All her horomones are way out of wack and that can cause major depression. They will not take the kids away if she gets help. Only if she is a threat to them or herself, just in the fact of asking for help is a good sign.

Her husband is simply being an ass. Any chance you can take her out for a few hours???

Likely she needs a break from all the kids. If he will not even take her out for a short while what are the odds he is not lifting a finger to help her with any of it.

Is this a change in him??? Is he scared of something, like where is the money comming from?

Just do not take the kids and leave her alone, no reason to give her a chance to do something stupid. Maybe the best thing is to see if someone will go with you that can handle the kids and you just take her out away from it all. Even just to get a coke.

Likely she will not want anyone to visit because she is overloaded in the first place, but she needs time to stop and shut down.

Of course you are her link, you know more about her than anyone here so you will have to feel out what she needs and what may help. It will also depend on what you can do for her, you may not be close enought to go see her. If that is the case can you find a friend of hers that can...

I hope that helps. I have seen this a few times. I suffer from depression so understand when it is really bad your mind does not work quite correct.

Your friend needs help! I can understand her husband being worried about her health, but threatening that people would take away the children is wrong. They both need counseling or her at the very least. She needs to understand that no matter how young the children are they will miss her greatly if she were to take her life. Tell her that they will grow up wondering why mommy wanted to die and will at some point start blaming themselves. Children have ways of finding these things out and its not pretty when they do. Perhaps you can help arrange a day out for her. See that there is a trusted babysitter and take her to a spa or out window shopping. Whatever she likes to do and if hubby boy worries about her tell him that as her friend you will make sure she's okay. The doctor's orders were no driving or things like that, not house arrest, which is what this sounds like. I do again stress that she needs to talk to someone. She probably doesn't need medication, just someway to destress and let everything loose. However, the issue between your friend and her husband needs to be addressed with a professional or it could come up again and get worse. Best of luck to you all!

She might be reacting worse to his abuse since she is coming off the hormonal roller coaster. She still needs to talk to a counselor who can help even out her mood and help her with the suicidal thoughts. After that, she really needs to drag that no-good husband to divorce court. No man who talks that way to the mother of his children needs to be around those children. It will only be a matter of time before he starts acting the same way to those kids and she needs to get out before they start to learn how a woman should act around a man. I got out of an abusive relationship and its the best thing I ever did with my life. There are tons of places that will help her and her children start a new life. Hope this helps and good luck with everything. She is lucky to have a good friend like you.

He sounds like an abusive @sswhole. Can you call her Mom or Dad? Does she have any family that she is close to that you can call? That is insane. It could be partly post partum and he is just adding to it. You need to find a family member and some other friends that she is close to and get together and talk about the best way to help her. If you have to, call her obygyne. You are talking about someones life. Dont play with that. Good Luck. I will pray for your friend tonight.

No brainer - get your friend some professional help! ASAP. Her husband is the psycho and the kids should clearly be taken from him! Convince her it's for the good of her kids, she's not psycho - she probably needs a mild antidepressant and/or some therapy. Help her if you love her.

Tell her to talk to her doctor. Sounds like she has PPD (Postpartum Depression). Since she has had it before, she is in a high risk category. Remember to keep telling her that her husband is wrong and that she is a great mom. A doctors help and support from friends is the best thing for her.

You need to tell someone what she is saying like her mother or sister, any relative. It could still be post natal depression, but anytime any talks about suicide it is a cry for help whether they do something or not... tell someone!

Don't dog her husband, concentrate on her. Call her, visit her, take her out for a girls day out with pampering. Get other friends involved. Make sure she is taking vitamins to get her body back to normal. Also, I found that tanning in a tanning bed helps me when I am depressed. (Something about light therapy.) Just make sure she knows she is not alone.

You need to play on her own motherly memories. Like how her Mom did this or that and she liked doing whatever with her Mom.What her favorite memories of HER Mom were, and her kids need the same loving care. As for that S.O.B she is with, well I think I would ,well I can't say on here as he IS THE PROBLEM! HE IS THE ONE PUSHING HER OVER THE EDGE!!! DO Whatever Is Neccasary to help her MAINTAIN!!!! And I DO MEAN ANYTHING!!!
