[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 190011, member: 1233"] I am so sorry she is dealing with PPD. It is incredibly debilitating, and from what I understand is much worse in someone who already had mood problems. It is incredibly easy for PPD to slip into post-partum psychosis. My sister in law had PPD. It was to the point that ALL she did was sit on the couch next to my niece. She would feed and change her diapers but that was it. No cuddling, cooing, talking - sister in law didn't even change TV channels. Have you asked sister in law and daughter what they want? What they feel would help?? Do they have daycare set up for the 2yo?? Is she getting any treatment - medical or otherwise? IF you drop this semester when could you start again? Next semester or next year? What happens if she gets so bad that you have to drop everything to help her? Will you flunk, get an incomplete, or something else? Can you talk to your advisor and see what he/she recommends? I know you ahve put your life on hold so many times already. It stinks that this has come up. Does sister in law have a mom , aunt, cousin or sibling who could help out the way you would if you dropped out of school this semester? I really don't know what advice to give. You have to live YOUR life. And some classes may not count if you don't finish your degree in a certain time. After X years teh credits are no longer valid. I think you would be safe at 6 years not losing the credits, but you really have to call the registrar and check. I think making ANY help contingent on getting intensive therapy. A psychiatric hospital stay is also something that may help. It helped my sister in law greatly once I bullied my bro into taking ehr to the doctor. Hugs to you, kisses to the new baby and her sibling, and prayers to your daughter and sister in law. [/QUOTE]
