Not going to tell my husband family we are having a baby EVER

My husband doesn’t get along at all with his family his mom is toxic and abusive and I’m sure if she ever had a psych evaluation they would determine her a psychopath.

His sisters take after there mom and are the meanest people you would ever meet.

His dad is ok but is one of those fathers that always popped in and out of his life. He won’t answer his phone for a month or 2 and then all of a sudden show up at our house everyday for a week. I guess that’s how it was when my husband was a child his father was always in and out of his life. We honestly can’t blame his dad for being in and out of his life because it was probably hell dealing with the mom.

When husband started hanging out and getting close to my family he always talks how great they are and how he wants to be a parent like how my parents are to me. He told me once how being around my family really opened his eyes to how terrible his own family is.

So we are having a baby and we aren’t telling anyone in his family. In fact we are going to disappear from his family and cut off all contact with everyone except his dad. This might sound extreme or wrong of us but I didn’t go in to much detail about how horrible his family really is and if I did I’m sure you all would agree with our decision.

I know cutting his family out of our life is the best decision I just hope they don’t cause him or me anymore trouble or pain. Some people spend there life trying to bring other people down so I have a feeling they will try and do this but we are going to stay strong and not give them the power to control us.
