Are my emotions valid after having a miscarriage at 6ish weeks?

Sara

I was only 19 when it happened. I only really knew about it for about 2 or 3 weeks. My boyfriend and I were not prepared at the time but I was honestly really looking forward to being a mother. I wanted the baby very much despite the bad timing. I’m not going to get into the details as to what happened leading up to the miscarriage. Let’s just say some family members had some mixed emotions about the situation and ended up putting their hands on me without consent... this resulted in a pretty bad bruise on my arm where her grip was. The very next day I miscarried. When I told my dad about it he screamed at me for getting pregnant at such a young age and told me my miscarriage was a blessing. The rest of my family felt the same way. For the next entire year I slipped into a horrible depression, didn’t leave my bed, lost a ton of weight, cried everyday. I felt like I honestly lost my mind for a little bit and I can’t tell if it’s because I lost a baby, or the amount of heart break that came with having such an unsupportive family. I know that I often had dreams about my baby. I even came up with a name hoping that it might help me move on if I validate its existence. I don’t understand why this made me so crazy though and I can’t tell if I’m being overly dramatic or if my emotions are warranted.
