No family support

Mack

My husband, my daughter (2.5 years), and I live at least a 9 hour drive from our families (husband is in the military), and I honestly feel I have no support this pregnancy, besides my husband who is wonderful. My mom literally never calls or texts me, we talk once a week when I call her and she never asks how I’m feeling or how the baby is. My sister hasn’t called or texted once this entire pregnancy except to tell me her boyfriend dumped her, and during our conversation about that she never asked anything about me or my family, it was all about her. My dad will send a text about once a week to “check” on me, basically just checking if I’m alive, never asks specific questions and he will usually FaceTime once on the weekend to talk to my daughter and my mom will join in on that if she’s home. My in laws and husband have always had a distant relationship, but my mother in law was always texting me asking about the baby and buying baby clothes during my first pregnancy, but I literally haven’t heard from her at all except when they came to visit for thanksgiving and when she has texted me pictures of my husband’s sister they had done for graduation. I mean I understand people are busy and have their own lives, but it’s really starting to get to me and make me sad. I am feeling so alone. Does anyone else’s family seem generally disinterested in their life? Maybe I need to find a better group to post this in.....
