Feeling frustrated about this situation is only natural my friend. Having a child is stressful even when everything goes perfectly as planned. Being the sole provider while having a wife who suffers from PPD brings a whole other level of stress to the equation.

A child brings new, stressful priorities with it and that is going to take its tole for a while. But, it is very important for the both of you to have moments to relax and wind down. You don't need some vacation or anything like that, what you need is a night off with a friend or close family member every once in a while. Just a few hours so you can decompress.

Like i said, this goes for the two of you. If you want to help your fiance you can arrange for her to have such a night/afternoon/day. Make sure that you're able to take care off the kid for that time so she doesn't have to worry about it for a few hours.

You're not failing them my friend, you're doing everything that you can. Do take care of yourself, if you're stressed out your fiance will be more stressed too. Try to be mindful, it's often the small things that can make or break moods. Make time for yourself, for her and for the two of you. When the two of you are ready for some help don't be embarrassed to ask your friends and family.

You are not alone. With the elevated cost of everything most family's are having financial problems. I applaud you on surviving on income. Most people could not do that. PPD is hard but the fact that you are worried shows you care and are there for her. Keep going. You are a good man.
