'Not all mothers love their babies' Glasgow mum opens up on screaming at infant and partner paranoia

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A Scots mum who blogs openly about her battle with post-natal depression says it took her 18 months to fall in love with her own child.

Kirsty Mac, from Knightswood in Glasgow, says her expectations of a "magical" motherhood were shattered after she gave birth to daughter Jessica.

The 33-year-old says she didn't bond with her baby at all for a year and a half, during which time she became "borderline psychotic", suspecting her partner of elaborate affairs and screaming at her own baby girl that she hated her.

To help other future mums who may find themselves in the same situation, she has written and published Not All Mothers Love Their Baby - the book she wishes had been around at the time of Jessica's birth.
