Also, the only point in time when I have seriously considered separation or divorce was during/just after the fertility treatments, and I totally get why it rips couples apart. I'm glad we weathered it, although not without some emotional scarring.
I'm happy for you guys and your new little person. May you and your little one be healthy and happy for all the years to come.

Yes, I hear you. Our meltdown was slower to come, but very divisive when it happened. Thank goodness for couples therapy, I don't like to think where we'd be without it.
Thank you for the good wishes x

We didn't do therapy, although I kind of wish we would have, looking back on things. There was definitely a sense of being alone and bereft on my part that I really didn't feel as though Tyson understood.

I think there is a lot of guilt in action from my BiL's mother. She's a very Heavy smoker and she smióked as much as Always when she was pregnant with BiL. he was a pre-mature baby and the problems he has becoming a father is also strongly linked to a smoking mother. But she refuses to acknowledge her action can had had any impact and reacts with being (at the best) very passive-agressive. Add to this that she and the brother he doesn't speak to anymore can't understand the grief over the baby who died and Think my BiL and sister "should get over it". (I get angry just thinking about it!)
