I felt sick reading this. All this talk of IT. What happened to maternal instincts. If the child is at school then there is no chance that you have post-natal depression. You should seek help immediately. If you have no maternal instincts - fair enough - you must have some humanity instincts, get help before you do some emotional damage that will scar for life. Your child deserves you at your best - try harder to find yourself and get help to be the best you can be. There is help out there - go find it!!

Saying all this but I really hope this is some sort of sick and pathetic joke!

I think this is a fake post. Well at least i hope so, tragic if it is not as I can't believe anyone could be so horrible to a child.

just wanted to clarify something in fiona's post-

post natal depression can drag on for years so i dont think its right to say that if the child is at school it must be over. there is no specific time frame or exact recovery date for post natal depression so i think there is a fair chance it could go for this long. so i think its very wrong to say there is no chance of having post natal depression just because the child is at school.

Can I just say that if you speak about your own child like this then maybe 'IT' as you call your child wld be better off with a new family that wouldnt harshly punish he/she just because they are not achieving to YOUR high expectations.
