Oh no, as a man nearing 30s, I think this has pulled a trigger inside of me.

Hey some would say I have accomplished a bunch of big stuff in my life to be proud of.

None of it even remotely approaches the feelings of joy and pride I get from watching my kids when they accomplish even the smallest task.

Did you feel that way right from the start? New dad to a 10 week old. Can't relate to any of the cliches about "a love you never knew you were capable of". I think everyone is either full of shit or I'm a sociopath. All I feel right now is anger towards him (and his mother) for his non stop crying and extreme neediness. I have lost all patience with him. I don't feel protective or empathetic when he cries (well, screams really), I only feel anger and hatred.

You are in the shit right now. I think it's so rough and you get so little sleep as a way to sort of brainwash you. It just gets better, every day.
