Am I being over dramatic bc of pregnancy? I’m
Hi all, so I’m not sure if I’m just overreacting because I’m pregnant or I’m 100% right. I would really appreciate input from you girls.
So here’s a backstory:
Im 20, my boyfriend is 22. We WERE living together for about 2 years, decided we wanted to try for a baby because we felt like we were ready! After 3 miscarriages and an Ectopic I finally got my sticky bean! Unfortunately a week later, my boyfriend got into a pretty bad car accident, broke his leg, fractured his spine & tore a back muscle. So that meant he couldn’t work anymore! So unfortunately we had to terminate our lease early, because with my income we didn’t have enough to pay our rent bills car note etc.. so we decided to move into his mothers house because she lived alone & her basement was free! She was happy to bring us in & it was what we could afford with my income temporarily.
So, things start getting difficult. My MIL (I’ll just call her that). Works at a dispensary for canabis. She smokes weed 24/7. I had explained to her that if I was moving in, due to my pregnancy I wasn’t okay with her smoking inside of the house because when she smokes the smoke is everywhere even the basement , if it was an issue or hard to accommodate it was completely fine and I could go to my parents house. So, she agreed and said she understood, anything for her grandchild.
About a week goes by, every single day I came home from work.. the whole entire house is Smokey. My work clothes stink like weed, the small gender neutral things I bought my baby all smelled like pure weed. I tried having a conversation with her about it, she completely shut me out. She began acting hostile, aggressive & mean! So one day she waited for us to be alone and she basically told me I needed to pick up and leave, keep my child away from my boyfriend & put him on child support because he was messed up and She felt like he didn’t need the weight of a child on him. When I disagreed, she became aggressive and told the whole family I was disrespectful, rude, and that I needed to get out of her house. I was planning on leaving anyway.
So, I picked up and came to my parents house. At around 5 months pregnant my doctor told me I have some placenta previa and because of my history of miscarriages she wanted me on bed rest until I delivered. So, I went ahead and resigned my job. My parents were welcoming, so they didn’t even ask for rent money. They told me they just wanted me to relax, help myself and the baby get our things in order and there’s no rush. So of course, one day, my whole transmission goes out. I needed to replace it and get things fixed on my car while going to a baby appointment, I ended up spending the 2000 I had left over for the baby. The car was an essential thing for me because without it I couldn’t go to my appointments or anything. I wasn’t stressed too much because I had already bought most of my son’s things.
So yesterday I go over my MIL’s house with permission to come over because I haven’t seen my boyfriend in a couple weeks and he can’t come see me because of his injuries. So before I leave, i look outside and my car is towed. Guess who called the tow company to tow my car?
My mil.
I had to pay $240 to get my car out, money I didn’t have. She denied it at first, but for the people that have gotten towed you know when your car gets towed on the invoice it states why you got towed. Clearly it said homeowner didn’t recognize unauthorized vehicle on property. When I approached her nicely with the invoice she ripped it up in my face and said it was all a lie that I’m full of shit and me being pregnant was a mistake and a lie and she’s pissed she has to see my face for the rest of her life now. Then she proceeded to tell my boyfriend that the baby isn’t his and that I sleep around.
She texted me this morning apologizing for spazzing out on me and she’s excited for her grandson.
I’ve come to the decision that I don’t want my child around her, I don’t want her there when I give birth and I don’t want her apart of anything. Am I being overdramatic? Or is it my pregnancy hormones. Please be nice. Some people say I’m being too extreme.
Edit: my boyfriend doesn’t want me to keep the baby away from her. But he agrees that she’s being a complete bitch, and thinks I’m being reasonable up until the point where I want her and my child to have zero contact he thinks that extreme because that’s her grandson.. (🙄) I feel like i don’t want my son around that negative behavior and just like how she bursts out on me she’ll do it to him.
