Defeated-need prayer
I was having a really great day until about 11 pm when everything suddenly came crashing down. Any of you have that one person who somehow has the power to ruin ANYTHING for them?
A little backstory: I had a miscarriage a month and a half ago, and my in laws and us do not see eye to eye which after a lot of prayers has caused my husband and I to distance ourselves from them. The source of most of that has come from the newest member of the family who married my brother in law less than a year ago and I don't know from a hole in the ground, but seems to be in control of everyone now.
Today, I was feeling quite positive that this was our month that things were going to change. We were confident that I'm pregnant again. Things hadn't been dramatic with the family in a while (which basically means we haven't gotten lectured about him being a terrible son or me keeping him from his family). Then late in the evening the aforementioned woman creates a new chat group with only her and I in it and titles it with her sons name... no messages were sent. This ruined my entire day. The conversations with only her and I, never end well... not even civilly! We distanced ourselves farthest from this particular couple for so many reasons, so we have seen their son only once which was at Christmas. She likes to remind us that he doesn't know us and would love to get to know his uncle and aunt (the child isn't even a year old so this is an excuse). She's tried to get us to visit them by saying that all focus will just be on the baby. It doesn't have to be about anything or anyone else. My thinking is this: my future children will be a package deal with me. If you don't like me, you don't get to be around my baby. If you don't like my baby, you can forget about me. We're a two for one. So I will give others that same courtesy as well. It feels stupid to go goo goo over a baby whose mom I can't hold a conversation with. I get the worst anxiety when I see her pop up on my phone! Please pray that I will be able to stay godly in whatever conversation will be happening!
Anyway... that's my rant and request of the day. Sorry it ended up being so long😛 Am I alone in my opinions of this?
