I'm a young, first time mom in my early 20s
It's been about 2 months since I told my dad (and he told his SO) that I was pregnant. My dads first reaction was over-the-moon thrilled UNTIL he talked to his SO.. Who proceeded to tell him how I'm screwing up my life, and now it's ruined and bla bla bla. Since then, the both of them are in a sh*t mood mood about it.
I had (or at least I thought I did) a very good relationship with my dad and didn't expect the negativity at all. My dad is just coming around to the fact that I'm pregnant without being a royal jerk about it. Then I overhear his SO going on to my dad about how stressed out they are about me being pregnant and they don't know how the heck they're going to handle it and bla bla bla . On top of that, they avoid me like I'm the black plague. My dad not so much, but still didn't care to chat up until the last week.
I just want to cry. All of this rejection towards me and the baby the last 2 months and NOW it's starting to hurt. NOW it's getting to me. I want to yell at them! Something along the lines of "if you don't want to accept the fact that I'm pregnant, and this baby is happening. Then that's fine, don't bother being in it's life." or a vulgar, descriptive "It's not your problem!!!" speech.
Talking to them won't help anything because 1. they won't listen and 2. They're SET on how bad this is. And I'm honestly sick of hearing the "Oh, it'll change once the baby is here" No.. Nothing changes in this SO's mind .. Absolutely nothing.
I am hurt, this is hurting me. My OH isn't even home for another week so I can cry to him. I feel so hopeless...
