Feeling hormonal and pushed aside this Christmas.

Ta

This is a long vent but I need to get it out so thanks to.anyone who reads. I'm 20 weeks pregnant and fighting the urge to just cry in the bathroom. This year has been such a struggle. Last summer our 7 year old cat had a long battle with cancer that ended, we didn't have a christmas last year because of the debt we needed to pay off from treatment. Come May this year, we paid everything off and decided to start really trying again for our first baby. Fast forward to today, Christmas eve. We lost another cat who was 4 to an unknown illness (7k) the day I found out I was pregnant, our roof began leaking (10k) and our floors needed to be fixed (5k). Again, due to the $20k in debt we are now suddenly in, we couldn't have our own christmas. I've got most of the baby things for free or clearance to save money and have picked up side gigs. I'm waiting on a call back from a potential employer to go back to work for the first time since being laid off this summer. My husband and I have been married 3 years and together for almost 10, so I am no stranger to his family. This year, his family purchased gifts for my husband (gift cards, sports tickets, etc) and my presents are all baby item related. Like directly from my baby registry. I am so thankful that they are helping us out with the baby, but I feel really hurt and cast aside that my husband gets presents for his hobbies and things but I don't get anything that's actually for me. I wont have a baby shower because we cant afford to host a party and I dont have anyone that wants to plan one for me, my mom died when I was little and Im.estranged from most of my family. I moved to a new city to be with my husband and so my friends are thousands of miles away. His sisters and mother aren't interested or don't have the time. I feel like Im being overdramatic but it just hurts so bad.
