Chapter 1861: Postpartum Depression
The two got together without any emotional foundation. Chen Ning was a stay-at-home wife and after a year, gave birth to her daughter Nannan.
After giving birth, Chen Ning ended up with severe postpartum depression. Furthermore, since she gave birth to a girl, her mother-in-law was unhappy and the entire An family neglected this child.
Chen Ning, as a newbie mother, had to take care of the child herself. She felt a lot of pressure, and her body was also exhausted, so her mood became very unstable. Sometimes she would start screaming for no reason and other times she would silently weep. An Jinwei only expressed annoyance: I’m already providing for you guys, what else do you want? Don’t you know how tiring it is for me at work?
Chen Ning knew that she was sick, but her mother-in-law just complained that she was really hard to please. Her mother-in-law complained that she had never seen a daughter-in-law like her. The family was feeding her and clothing her, yet she was complaining about depression. How unreasonable!
The mother-in-law liked to gossip and the father-in-law never got involved in anything. Meanwhile, the husband was indifferent. The entire family exerted emotional violence that caused one to despair.
When Nannan was half a year old, Chen Ning was in deep despair. She had no way of escaping from this depression in this sort of environment. In painful despair, holding her daughter who was still in swaddling clothes, she climbed up the stairs of the building.
Chen Ning wanted to leave this world with her child. In the future, her child would also have to experience everything that she had experienced. Postpartum depression had caused her severe insomnia. She couldn’t sleep all night and it had been weeks since she had been able to have a good night of sleep.
Chen Ning was exhausted and anxious, she couldn’t take it anymore. There was nothing for her to live for anymore. Her spirit had been completely destroyed.
As she stood on the edge of the balcony, she looked at the An family members who were currently yelling at her, berating her as if she had committed some great crime. Meanwhile, her husband just stood to the side, his face cold and terribly dark.
Chen Ning hugged her child and without any hesitation, jumped.
After Ning Shu finished receiving the storyline, her mouth fell open, speechless.
The reason that Chen Ning had ended up this way was that no one supported her. No one understood her, so she was so alone that she fell into despair.
The problem at the root of this was that the An family did not care about this daughter-in-law of theirs at all. Chen Ning fell into the trap of feeling inferior and self-blame, so thoughts of suicide kept resurfacing in her mind.
Ning Shu glanced at the silent Chen Ning and asked, “What do you wish for?”
Chen Ning looked at her and asked as well, “What can you do?”
“What kind of result do you want to get?” There’s gotta be some wish she wants to be fulfilled, right?
A strange expression appeared on Chen Ning’s face. “What would you know? How could you understand my pain?
Give me back my Nannan!”
Ning Shu sighed. “Then you don’t want a counterattack?”
“I do, I’ll offer up all the soul power I have,” said Chen Ning, half smiling and half crying.
“Then what is your wish?” asked Ning Shu.
“What do you think I need?”
Ning Shu furrowed her brows. The current Chen Ning really didn’t care about anything.
“Make sure your daughter is happy?” Ning Shu tried asking.
“What happiness could a woman have? They can only get married, give birth to children, be ignored and trampled.” Chen Ning’s face was expressionless.
Ning Shu felt a little helpless. Even with the current development of society, women were still existences that were belittled.
How many husbands were truly respectful towards their wives?
Men were seriously loathsome existences.
“Then what do you want?” asked Ning Shu. She didn’t really want to take on this task anymore. She was only observing right now, but her mood was already becoming very heavy.
Heavy to the point that there was a shadow forming in her heart.
This was the current state of women’s existence.
You had to be a full-time wife.
You had to work 24 hours a day.
You are a mother.
You are a wife.
You are a daughter.
You are a daughter-in-law.
You are an alarm clock.
You are a cook.
