 |  family problems
hello people. ohhhhh kayyyy, im 32, have a 5 year old daughter (her dad and i divorced) im 7 months pregnant with 2nd child (different man) who has a whole heap of problems but is 100% good person. i had a previous pregnancy and had an abortion because of family pressure (mum mainly) i havent told my mum im expecting (though i think my sister has told her, and is now avoiding me) i guess i have to talk to my mum, but what to say? in a way i feel like just cutting her off for making me choose between her and my children. she hasnt spoken to her mother for 20 odd years. or seen her first grandchild aged 6. any insight? what i want is for her to accept us as a family, this just isnt going to happen...help?

If you're having trouble with this than I'd ask your self why do I want my mom to accept me. Do I feel there is something missing from me...do I feel incomplete..ect ect ect... just do some introspection to figure out why you feel this way. If you still feel bad than I believe you're out of alignment. There is something blocking you from being the person you truly are. Just keep doing introspection to figure it out...or better yet ask questions either on this board or yourself  Good luck.

Funnyfish, What a difficult situation and I'm so sorry for you! I give you a lot of credit for going through with this pregnancy and for not pandering to your difficult mother. If your mother doesn't support and love you, then I say let her go do her own thing. I feel that you should just be completely comfortable with your decision to grow your family, regardless of what an outside party things, even if that person is your mother. You should focus on being the best possible mother that you can be and let the parent/child estrangement that has occurred in your family's past, end with you and your mother, and not allow it to go on to any further generations. Best of luck and I'm sure everything will work out!! Lauren |
