Today, my wife and I received confirmation that she has postpartum depression. When sharing this with the family, my mother exclaimed "I told you she was a psycho!" Now my wife is crying louder and more often than our newborn. Thanks, mom. FML

Your mother clearly needs to get over herself and accept your marriage. Your wife may be a "psycho" to her, but she's the "immature brat" to everyone else. Love and support your wife, and reassure her that she's definitely not what your mother says. Also, when you have the time, take your mother aside and set up some boundaries. If she can't accept them, stop coming around. For the sake of visiting your newborn, she'll probably learn to keep her mouth shut. Your mother may be blood, but your wife is your family.

That is horrible! Post partum depression and post partum psychosis are two very different things. I had post partum depression after my daughter was born...and I'm not psycho lol sorry man.

Do you really know that you're not psycho? Isn't it just the voices in your head telling you that?

Hate to say it, but if you didn't nip your mom treating your wife this way in the bud on the upfront, you kind of deserve it. You're not much of a husband if you can't stand up to mommy on her behalf.

This. My boyfriend hardly ever defends me to his mom, though in his defense (see how nice I am?) his mom usually attacks me when he leaves the room so he's never there for it. BUT I tell him about it afterward and he defends her instead or tries to talk me into thinking it's OK for her to do that. No, it's not - she's not my mom, I'm dating him, NOT her. If this continues, one of these days, he's going to be telling his friends that his girlfriend left because of his mom. It's not avoidable since mother-in-laws will always be bitchy, but you need to tell mommy where her place is, and that is OUTside the relationship, with her mouth shut.

Your mom is so mean. :/ I hope you defended your wife when your mother said that. Set up some boundaries. F your wife's life. :(
