I fell out with him six months ago over the way we are raising our severely disabled one-year-old daughter.

We’ve been together for three years. We were really in love, then we found out about our daughter’s complications at a scan and it’s fair to say that everything changed.

My partner started spending more time with his mates at a time when I really needed him. I was exhausted.

My mother-in-law thinks I’m too hard on him because he works hard and needs some time out with his mates, but where does that leave me?

I haven’t spoken to her since our falling-out.

It works for me – I’m much happier now and my mind is clearer.

DEIDRE SAYS: It sounds like your partner is struggling to come to terms with your daughter’s disabilities.

Explain you have noticed he’s distancing himself, which suggests he doesn’t care about the relationship, and then listen to what he says.

You may be able to access respite care.
