Me and my mum have never really had a great relationship because of being brought up in domestic violence from IT ( the man you thinks hes got the right to be called a dad!) When I was young there was no support from anyone and she was constantly protecting us from him. so from that we never really got on.
I rang my mum to tell her I am pregnant and heres what she said " I am not going to say congratulations becuase im only 40 I dont want to be a grany yet "
It really upset me after all I have done for her in helping her raise the three little ones from her other relationships and all I get is that?
I know parents arnt perfect but I thought the least she could of done is say congratulations?
Shes really upset me more because of how my partners parents reacted his mum was over the moon and his dad gave me a big hug and said " yes im going to be a grandad!"
I am sure lots of people are in worst situations and I should be greatfull that I do have some support but its not the same I want my mum to be happy for me.
