Coping with unsupportive family advice.
So im now 8 weeks pregnant, ive known since I was 4 weeks and I finally told my mom. She lives on tje west coast while I live on the east coast with my husband whom ive been married to a year now. I wanted to tell her face to face but my work schedule and flights just couldnt correspond in a way that both my husband and I could get out there.
I tried to call her multiple times but kept going straight to voicemail, so I called my grandmother. (They live at the same house) and told her, she said she would tell my mom since she was on the phone (explains why she didnt answer).
An hour later I call my mom again and she (FINALLY) answers, and gives me an annoyed “what?” And jokingly I say “oh you finally answer.” And she hangs up. I try calling a couple more times and each time im sent immediately to voicemail. She furious and I know it.
Now, I just turned 21 in october. I moved out of the house at 17 and went off to college, worked my ass off and got my bachelors in 2 years, only moved back home for 3 months when my ex and I broke up. Got married last november and moved cross country in may with my now husband so its not like im in a bad spot in life. Contrary, I think im doing pretty damn good for my age! Ive got a great job with benefits, as does my husband, we dont have (to much) debt, and weve been actively trying to have a baby for a year. And for my mom to get angry... I just dont know what to do. Shes my support system. And my grandma wasnt to thrilled either. She gabe me a half assed “congratulations” and thanked me for doing it in order. (I.e: school, marriage,baby)
My husbands parents already dont accept us/dont want to believe that hes with me. They pretend like hes not even in a relationship, theyre blinders are so strong! So to have my own family whos always been so understanding and supportive be so cold, I just dont know what to do.
As someone who already suffers from mental illnesses, this is a major thing for me. I feel so lonely and so lost in this. I have my husband and my pups, but we have no family to back us up and be there.
Truthfully I just need to vent because now I have no one to talk to. No one to give me motherly advice or guidance in all of this... I just feel ...so alone ya know?
