Hi Heidi,

Thank you for your reply, it really helps to approach the therapy session this week validating what he is experiencing and respecting that.

The areas that I have negatively contributed to the relationship have been through having had a terrible father figure myself and falling into a self-fulfilling prophecy in my interactions with my husband. I have criticised him and complained so much that I have pushed him away. We have also been navigating becoming parents during the pandemic with no support around us and I became so consumed with my daughter that I didn’t have space left for us. I feel terrible about this now and really regret how I have behaved. I can see things so clearly now but am afraid it will be too little too late for him as he seems to have completely closed off already.
