Becoming a parent is one of the most intense transitions couples go through. Most will find the experience to be overwhelming, regardless of how well supported they are. The highs are high, and lows - low. You may notice you don’t feel like yourself, you’re on edge, consumed with worry and a deep desire to get everything right as a parent - and intense guilt if you feel you've missed the mark. Perhaps things with your co-parent are feeling hard too. Having a child rocks our intimate partner relationships - many couples start to feel like roommates and don't know how to work through the disconnection and conflict that arise.
