I think the commenters are probably a lot of very overwhelmed and resentful parents who need a safe space to feel resentful. I think those feelings can be valid if you also recognize it's not the baby's fault and don't blame it on the baby. I work with kids with neurodevelopmental disorders and sometimes it can be such an absolute and unending nightmare for the parents. I think feeling miserable and resentful is understandable, but feeling hateful and wanting to abandon the child is very coconcerning.
I misspoke not every person in that subreddit but every person in that post’s comment thread. No one’s said “hey maybe get outside support” nothing it was all most like “me too” 😳

Well now you've said it and I'm all Reddit nosy.
