I don’t want to see my family before I move
Im moving cross country for a better opportunity. Im pregnant and my husband and I don’t make enough to live where we live. We’re moving to be with family and be able to put a down payment on a home. My mom’s family has been very hurtful and negative about our move despite us telling them we don’t care how they feel. They guilt me and even told me I was abandoning our family for a man.
I went no contact with my mom because of this (she called us poor and told me to give my baby to a better family then threatened to call the police if I try to leave our state with her grandchild 🙄) along with other crazy shit since I was a kid. My grandma and aunt have been breathing down my neck to see them before we move early next month but they’ve been guilting me for 3 months about moving and not talking to my mom. They’ve made my pregnancy a lot more stressful than it needed to be by harassing me nonstop about everything from “what sheets are you bringing” to “what if your mom dies while you’re living out there”. They refuse to understand my mom is not who I need in my life and her being my mom doesn’t give her free range to act crazy.
I don’t want to see them. I don’t care about their manipulative behavior and their “what if this thing that will probably never happen happens”. I’m tired of the guilt trips and I’m tired of the threats. I don’t know how to set that boundary with my grandma because she’s old as the pyramids and always says “I could die anyday” in response to anything.
