Congrats Lost, I'm not on the FB group yet as I wont be announcing the pregnancy on FB until around the 23rd so couldn't see the video.
AFM DH agreed to start buying certain items next month which stinks but what I expected. We bought a table and 6 chairs for our balcony so don't have funds to buy anything big anyway this month
Wrote an SMS to a childish friend of mine last week (she's 34 but is mentally closer to 16-18) about my 1st midwife appointment but she never answered - guess she's keeping busy with her studies and her approx. 11 year younger boyfriend
Due to my siblings being so toxic, I can't share this pregnancy with them as they wouldn't care anyway (they've been making it crystal clear the past year or 2 that I'm not wanted in their lives). Makes me feel a bit alone in a way as only DH's family is excited and shows interest (mostly his parents and grandmother).
Links were not just put on FB, It was on my Journal. You do not need FB to access or play the video.
I know how you feel about absent family. I have no one to talk to let alone ask for help, my parents live 8 miles away and my sister lives in the same town. It stinks being on your own but at least you have DH.
Ah ok I thought you said the link was in the FB group and I figured it might be hard to find on YouTube if I don't have the link.
I'm sure that at least your family is interested and treats you decent - the same cant be said of my toxic siblings. My 23 year older brother has gotten more abusive over the years (he's super condescending and puts me down constantly) and none of them have ever offered moral support during any crisis e.g. when I was going through infertility
Despite the fact my brother went through infertility for 5 years before his wife conceived on their last IVF try, he has been completely unsupportive and told me January last year to try going on a vacation to conceive, as if that helps everyone going through infertility
When I politely tried to end the conversation because he was being mean and insensitive, he told me I only wanted to end it because it wasn't going my way, that I cant seem to accept a differing opinion and to post on when I was ready for an adult conversation.
Interested and treats me decent? Ha, I wish.
Never sees me, let alone the grand children. They know I am disabled and struggle.
I told my so called mother over a month ago that I am risking my life come October. 3
weeks later she replied asking if I had tried calling - completely ignoring the fact she might lose her daughter in October. She had 4 children, one passed away and the other 2 don't bother with her. You'd think she'd try to maintain contact with the last remaining child that has anything to do with her?
At 8 weeks I was hospitalised for severe morning sickness and they both told me to terminate, well I say 'told', shouted down the phone to me is more realistic. I only asked them to have the toddler because I was admitted for fluids. I ended up only having one bag of IV fluids and having to discharge myself because of their behaviour.
I strongly believe that some of us are better off without our parents / siblings.
Your mother sounds similar to mine, everything is about her and her needs come first. She sounds like a possible NPD case (Narcissistic Personality Disorder ). If she is than she's without empathy for anyone but herself. Unfortunately people with this disorder only get worse with age.
