I was married for 7 years. My marriage had the common husband and wife arguments. However, when we had our first baby, something strange began to happen. My husband began to go out more often than usual and some nights he wouldn't comeback home. He also began to be a little more upset about everything, he would blame it on the economy but that was not it. We were separated for a year and tried twice to be together but each time he would get bored of been home and would go out again, the last time I told him we needed to go to therapy because I was really hurt he agreed with it. However, after 1 week and half of been together we argued and I lost it and hit a luggage. So he told me that I would never change and this was not what he wanted for us or the baby and we separated again. So now I filed divorce and I'm just waiting to be finalized.

There was an extremely informative article about post-partum depression in men which appeared in September, October or November 2008. I need to send it to a niece, but I must have inadvertently discarded it after promising to send it to her...

I don't know where or how to find it. Can you help me ?

Thank you.

Dear Sir or Madam

Please allow me to introduce myself. I have completed a book called My Journey to Her World which is a personal account of living with my wife’s depression and postnatal depression. This book is my story of how I came face-to-face with the devastating illness of depression and in particular postnatal depression, as I witnessed my wife suffer the traumatic effects that victims of this disease are subjected to. Being a male, I found it difficult to express my innermost thoughts. Help in the form of documented experiences was largely unavailable for men, thus my idea of sharing my own story was born.

By sharing the story of our relationship from first meeting to present day, I hope to enlighten the reader by offering, unusually, the male perspective on postnatal depression and in a wider context, help sufferers to understand the plight of their partner.

I feel that the book would be of relevance to your audience and am therefore contacting you to see if there is a possibility of perhaps having an article or mention of the book on your website.

My book is currently selling on Amazon and has featured on Fox News as part of a feature on the male perspective of post natal depression in January as well as national British television. The feature can be seen at:

In addition, more information on my book can be found at www.mypartnersdepression.com.

With best wishes
