Hi bluegirl, from your posts it sounds like you have a lot going on in your life. Yes, the yelling and screaming around your baby might have a negative impact on him/her. Its good that you have a beautiful baby as a positive part of your life. I know getting up out of bed when you are depressed is difficult but you are persevering for your baby. Give yourself credit for being such a good mom. I know what its like to be stuck in a house because you don't have the money to get out on your own. You deserve to be happy--keep looking for options. Please take care of yourself for your sake and your baby's sake......D.
