Pregnancy dilemma
Hi ladies! I find myself in a weird situation. I was raised by my grandparents since I was 3 years old and I didn't see too often my mom or my brother. We lived 5 minutes apart but I would see her maybe once every 3 months. Even though we were never close I still try to include them in my life. When I got pregnant I called them to let them know. After giving birth I would send them pictures at least twice a year... Last year I went thru an awful miscarriage so when I spoke with my mom on the phone, she told me that she is very happy that I lost my baby. She considers it as a fair punishment for not sending my daughter to Germany in the summer for her to take care of her. I don't want to do that because my mom is an alcoholic and she becomes very aggressive when she is drunk. I don't want to put my 9 year old in that kind of environment! I invited her to visit us but she said that she won't disrupt her life for us. As you can imagine I felt very hurt that she was happy about our pain! She also at that occasion she asked me for lots of money, but we are one income right now and we went thru our savings for <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">fertility treatment</a>. So I had to tell her that I don't have that kind of money! A couple of months ago I got a phone call from her best friend telling me that my brother and sister in law are expecting a baby. They told everybody except me. They together with my mom decided that they don't want me to know until she gives birth. Her friend told me that she doesn't agree with them and that is why she decided to tell me, that she thinks that they are mad why I didn't give my mom money and that is why they are doing it. But she made me promise not to tell and act as I don't know anything about it. Wright now I am 6w pregnant and I am debating if I should tell them about it. My husband thinks that I should but I feel so hurt. It still hurts that she told me that she was so happy that I lost my baby and also that they want to keep secret my sister in law's pregnancy. What would you do? Since I told my mom about my miscarriage I went thru another 2 miscarriages that she doesn't know about. What if I tell them and then I miscarry again? I don't want to give her a reason to be happy again for my pain. I got hurt so much already. I feel that if they want to keep the pregnancy a secret why can't I?
