Dear anita,

To tell you more about myself, I am a very unemotional person – meaning I do not feel any emotional attachment to anyone. Not even towards my family (parents, wife, baby). And I also cannot pretend to be an emotional person.

One good thing about this is that my wife understands this and we talk about it. About my current state of mind, I speak to her on and off, but we both have realized that after the arrival of our baby, our connection to each other has further weakened. (As it is we were not deeply connected, but we used to have a dialogue quite frequently, but now there is almost no dialogue). Its as if we are on different planes.

Further, managing day to day work pressure and attending to family is feeling like a burden. It feels as if I am buckling under pressure and there’s no way out.

In all this chaos, I have observed that babies do have a sixth sense. I think that since I am in an agitated mindset, my baby also gets agitated when I hold her, and does not want to be with me. I can barely manage her when mom is not around. My wife always tells me to build a good rapport with our child. I try it in my own way, but due to lack of emotion, I may be failing in this front.

I can go on but maybe this can give you some insight into my state of mind.

Thanks for being patient with me.
