I have my a 3 mouth old and a thought (on Sunday) that i wanted to slap her around. of course i did not i told my husband about it and my friend that is like a mom to me. first thing Monday morning i got in to see my dr, and a counselor for help me I had all the back up plans possible. i did not feel safe with her because i did not want to hurt her i am on meds because i am bi-polar also but i just got back on my meds is there any therapy I need to take to help make sure that i don’t ever hurt her? I also had three boys that i lost custody of for not having a clean home please don’t look down on i was only 22 and 2 of my boys were sickly i didn’t know how to take care of them properly of so i have taken a lot of parenting classes and waited until I was 26 to have my daughter and i felt like i was ready and I am a good mom now. do you thing that i might have resentment or a grudge toward myself because i wasn’t a good mom to my boys and if so what do i do. i mean i have a plan that if i have the thought or urge to hurt her if it happens to me again (remember I have never hurt her only thought about it) i will tell someone immediately so that they can come take over and it is 4 different people that all live within 5 minutes of me. if the thought does happen i am going to gap the phone and let her cry and go outside until someone gets her. I also have it set up that if i don’t feel safe enough for my daughter live with me until i get better for mom and dad to take temporary custody they also said that we could move in if we want to help me get better the last thing i ever would do would be hurt my daughter but i don’t want to lose her because i am sick do you think this has something to do with my bi-polar? I* never had had these thoughts before. I am really scared I don’t think this is postpartum depression. Please help me and don’t judge me

No, don’t blame your illness. My dad was bipolar (he’s dead now) and he was an excellent father who would never have dreamed of abusing my brother or me!!
Get therapy. Get on the right meds. Quit making excuses and work on finding solutions.
