My mom always makes my anxiety worse. I’ve learned how NOT to be with my child from her...

Unfortunately my husband and I had to move into my mothers house during my first trimester. We have a wonderful set up and we’re not complaining and I’m totally grateful.....BUT my mom and I don’t get along great. I have crippling anxiety some nights, I totally know it’s hormones, the change in scenery, being around her more, and the normal pregnancy anxiety. When I tell my mom I was up until 2 am with anxiety she always asks why, and comes off like she wants to know why I was upset. Within seconds she takes things I’m going through personally and makes it about her and says everything wrong you could say to someone suffering from anxiety. She also always says, and this is about any pregnancy symptoms I’ve had, “ I didn’t have that, that didn’t happen to me, I don’t remember doing that”.....I literally have no one to talk to besides my incredible husband. So fucking sad and my anxiety just gets worse. Typing it out on here helps, and chatting with other moms.
