Hi, thanks for reaching out. I can understand that is breaking your heart to see your child suffering.A home is a child’s refuge of love and care. Children need to feel loved, secure and comfortable to express themselves fully. If children see parents constantly fighting and arguing at home, it creates a sensation of panic within the child. They feel frightened and helpless. It can have long term and short term effects . Having said that Please reach out to someone and sort out your differences and issues with you husband.
Next Steps
You can book appointment with me for couple or individual counselling.

Hi momma , It’s okay don’t think that this is going to be impacting her for life ,it’s not true.You can start working on happy memories so automatically older things will fade off.It is same for you And your child don’t keep revisiting the past if it is of no good. Start the change from you, Keep your day interesting and also stay away from arguing for a while with your partner.We shall work on one at a time. First on your inner peace then on your bonding with your baby and finally with your partner. If he is okay with couples counseling we shall focus on him first. If not keep this as in said and start working.

Yes, there is a possibility that it might affect her mental health..
I suggest you both to Consult a psychological Counselor for a Couple Counselling to resolve this permanently..
Axxodinglng to me, resolving the issues between husband and wife Will be more useful and effective than, trying to avoid or suppress the issue itself.
