So Acacia has admitted to some postpartum depression and talked about Rosie being taken away from her after the birth, with that being the start of her detachment from her.
Since she knows Rosemary has medical issues, maybe Acacia is afraid to get too attached to her?Imagine being a young mum with a baby that could have really serious health problems or possibly a short life span.. I think she’s scared of something going horribly wrong with Rosemary, so she has detached herself from her emotionally. This way when she has to see R go through procedures like today, it is not as upsetting to her - since she’s already emotionally distant. Just a theory.
It may sound silly, but she’s young, inexperienced and this is something entirely out of her control.
She is also obviously very vain, and places a huge importance on looks. She is probably ashamed that she gave birth to a baby who isn’t picture-perfect like her first child. If I was in her shoes I would blame myself (partially) for birthing a child with numerous defects and failing to give them the best shot at life. It’s a silly way to think, but Acacia may be experiencing feelings of guilt and not knowing how to cope with them.
Whatever the case, I think Acacia as a mother needs to step up her game and get over her personal problems. This isn’t about her now, it’s about the health of her & jairus’ child. I’m glad to see Rosemary is getting medical attention - the next step is for Acacia to actually address it in an update. I think she’s avoiding doing this because she’s struggling to come to terms with it - she can’t admit she didn’t birth a perfect baby.
Acacia- prove me wrong!

I agree with this 100% and you said it better than I could. As much as I dislike Acacia because of her fake ness, bitchy attitude, and constant favoring of Brinley, I really do feel bad for her regarding Rosie. We probably all do. I’m 5 years older than Acacia and thinking about myself at 21 compared to now is night and day. I would have a very difficult time with having a high needs baby now, but at 21 I would have totally fell apart. It’s probably daunting for her to be so unsure of Rosie and her families’ future. They probably don’t really know yet how long Rosie will live (sorry if that’s kind of morbid), or what kind of care she’s going to require as she gets older. It’s a pretty good example of waiting to have kids u til you’re ready. She’s lucky she has the money and family support she does, but it still must be scary for her.
