Negative Mom

Shelby

So I'm not currently TTC since I'm not even close graduating yet, but my mom is aware I want to have my first child before I'm 20. She is very negative about the topic and she brings it up nearly every time I see her. I know she's projecting because her concerns always start with how she kinda dropped the ball and didn't make an effort with me because she's an alcoholic. She even goes to attack my boyfriend by comparing him to her husband because they both have disabilities, calling me co-dependent and him manipulative. There's absolutely no reason for her to believe that and my boyfriend is nothing like my stepdad. I don't know I guess I'm just starting to think it'd be best if I keep her away from my future kids and myself, just to maintain a good mental health. She really sucks all joy out of my life.
