I would strongly suggest you go ahead and get the DNA test. This will clear the air once and for all either way.

You see, genes are funny. Neither my sister or I look anything like our Mom and Dad. But we are theirs no doubt about it <vbg>.

Turns out, she looks very much like our Great Great Great Grandfather on our dad's side and I look like my Great Great Great Great grandmother on my mom's side (her father's side). We are "Throwbacks" so to speak.

So, just because your baby does not look like your H does not mean it is not his.

As to your postpartum depression, have you spoken with your doctor about this? You really should. There are things and medications (yes, even if you are nursing) that can help to ease the symptoms.

I also agree, talk with your sponsor. She can probably get a meeting to you, or find someone to give you a lift to and from the meeting.

Please keep posting and let us know how YOU are doing as we do care so very much.

Love and hugs,
