I go through this with my family too. I've found that my friends are the family I choose. I've always told them about my family struggles and they really step up and understand that they are who I go to when anyone else would go to their mother or sibling. I also treat them like they are my family. A couple of my friends are pregnant too or just had kids and I make a point of asking them how it's going and I bring food and help with chores when I go over. Be the person that you want to find in your life. Open up to your friends and you might be surprised at the support network you will gain.
My Family does not care about my pregnancy at all
Hi everyone 🙂
This is by no means a 'feel sorry for me' post, I'm just looking for some insights from anyone that has experienced something similar.
I'm just over 6 months (24 weeks) and I have had almost no support, emotional or otherwise from my mother or my sisters. My father is not in the picture - a few years ago him and my mom split up and he married some one my age and they now have a baby so he doesn't speak to us anymore. Last year I got married and my mom and sisters also were unhelpful, cruel about my ideas and didn't seem to care at all about helping or even offering support.
Now that I'm pregnant, I've tried to talk to them and engage them by talking about the baby and sending them pics etc - but I'm always just met with a 'that's cute'
I might just be hormonal but I can't understand why they don't care and don't even so much as text me to see how I am. Especially since my first trimester was extremely stressful and we almost lost the baby several times.
Has anyone else had issues like this?
Did anything change once the baby came?
I'm honestly so embarrassed that they don't care that I haven't talked to any of my friends about this, I just keep praying that it will change
Thank you very much for reading and any input with be so appreciated 🙂

Honestly, stop stressing yourself out with trying. I know that sounds awful, but so do they. Be excited for you and your husband. Be excited for your baby coming into the world. Tell friends and share with them. Be happy with them.There is no point in wasting time and energy on people who are going to be indifferent. You tried and it didn't work. Don't let it keep you down.
Make sure not to stress yourself too much. It sounds like they're being shady and don't care that they are hurting you. I'd try to stop worrying about them as much as you possibly can. Try to use your energy on people who make you happy. Every single thing happens for a reason! I'm sorry this is happening. Hope things get better!
