I'm so sorry you are going through this. My advice is to make your baby the first priority right now. There must be some type of governmental assistance or other programs that can help. Don't give up. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your baby, and your husband.

Yes the baby comes first. So you seeking help outside of your family has to be a priority. Not just for you but for her. She needs you healthy. Start with trying to get some questions answered and then some help. United Way and other charities are a good start. Tell the hospital staff at the unit where he is at. A social worker may already be assigned to his care. That resource is there for you and your baby as well. I speak from experience. I was in many times. And once it was for a while. My wife never missed a pay check of mine. That was because of my benefits from where I worked. I'm retired from there now after 23years of working with them. I still have my insurance and a pension now. My depression comes and goes. Lately it's been a battle again. But as always in the past. This time I will defeat it. Your husband stands a good chance of doing it too. As you also have a good chance at beating yours as well. Keep that baby first. Trust in your love for her and your husband. As long as you can ask for help. Then you have hope. Give it try. You might find more than just a solution to this problem. When I reached out for help. I know I found some amazing people. They helped me so very much. Maybe you will find those that can help you. Big hugs to you all.

Thank you for your uplifting words. It has given me hope to not give up. I'm scared about money but maybe I can find somewhere to help. He doesn't really have benefits like that but I know they can't fire him while he's away so that makes me feel a little better

I've been in similar situation now I'm pregnant with 4th child. Go to local job and family services and apply for any assistance they recommend. They r there to help.. its such a stress relief when get the assistance. Right now I am only one working my husband was in the hospital last month. I was home with 3 kids and pregnant. I had to deal with his behavior cops got involved it took a week for him to get help after I told the cop he needs to hear checked out. Words hurt that's for sure. Take an easy hunny I've been there done that. Hope he stays on his meds and stays in therapy. Stays on top of his health or it will get worse. It's no fun to be on the other end and get all the abuse it hurts.

You're so very welcome. I wanted to add to get with someone to see about the FMLA option. The Family and Medical Leave Act protects his job. And a Social Worker at the hospital might have already suggested it. I hope you find and can make the most of every resource that is available. And please remember to take care of yourself. You are a very important part of his recovery. And you're the most important part of yours. Please hug that baby girl for me.
