    Your cousin is in very vulnerable condition. Please give her emotional physical support right now. Her husband and in laws are very cruel to deprive her from babies. You can file police complaint and bring babies to your parents house or wait for some time. Tell your cousin to recover fast so she can take care of her babies. Suicide is never answer to problems. She should have come back to your parents house. I really appreciate you and your parents for taking care of her.

    Thanks for your reply, We are also telling her , it's just 1 complain and we can get kids back and make them suffer for all there deeds , as she was divorced early , she don't want to break this marriage , she is still blaming herself that she made a mistake of attempting suicide and she should have tolerated them still , she don't want to break marriage and make kids away from there father, we are trying to support her to heal before taking any decision , am planning to gather all my cousins and make them call her and speak positively so she don't get in depression , I am also thinking to contact a healing center , where a counselor can talk to her and make her come out of it.

    What kind of a father will keep babies away from their mother? How old are the children? Was she still breastfeeding? Document everything as it happens and get good legal advice so she can get custody and proper child support.

    She is getting treated for the injuries she suffered due to the fall or for the postpartum depression ?

    Has a diagnosis of postpartum depression been made by a qualified medical professional ?

    If so , she has to get regular treatment from a qualified psychiatrist at least for 2 years.

    Postpartum depression is horrible but completely treatable disease if she happens to come under the care of a qualified Psychiatrist.

    If untreated, the disease itself carries highest suicide risk

    I’d get a good lawyer. But also explain that she needs to get better for her child to show that she is capable of looking after him. Baby blues appear after giving birth and it can get bad which it did but now she needs to pull herself together or get medication for depression to heal. Otherwise They’ll say she is unfit to be a mother because she attempted suicide. Help her get back on her feet.

    it seems like she got married into a really backwards family. Tell her not to contact her husband too much. If she wants pics of her baby then ask him but if he doesn’t reply or abuses then ignore and keep a record.


    It doesn’t matter if this marriage breaks. It’s not her fault. The husband doesn’t seem undertanding. Let him face hardship looking after the child right now. It won’t last long and will be desperate to have your cousin back. Let’s see how long the mother in law can do housework if she was dependent on ur cousin. I’d mention in court she abused her and treated her like a slave.
