Tired đź’”

Imma vent here cause even I speak with my parents, my therapist and my friend I still feel a sadness inside of me and I feel super bad when I cry cause I know the baby feel it. I started dating this guy (let’s call him B) last year, we met in Playa del Carmen, we both from another countries, im from Argentina and he is from the states. After 2 months dating I got pregnant (also I’m 25 and he is 36) I decided to keep it cause even I’m in favor for abortion I wouldn’t do it, it’s not who I’m. He is like “okey you wanna keep it it’s fine we can figure out” I was working at this store back in Playa, out of nowhere they fired all us and close that store (I was 2 months pregnant by the time) and here in Mexico if you don’t have a Mexican residence you don’t get good jobs, it’s work 8-10 hours for 300 u$d the month. So I was searching searching searching and he comes like “oh hey I don’t want you to work a lot of hours cause I see that you are pucking 3-4 times a day, your energy it’s super low” just help me with the house and I take care of the main stuff, I was okey sure perfect. Now coming to the present time (I’m 36 weeks), almost a month ago we moved to Mexico City because he said he had more job opportunities here (he is a DJ) and we been struggling since we got here with a place to stay, we stayed in 3 different places till I found an apartment to rent at least for 3 months so I can at least have a place to have to baby and then we can move and all the stress got us fighting a lot he started saying to me that he never wanted the baby, that he wished I aborted it, but now he has to be responsible for 3 people that he was better when he was by himself, WHEN IN THE MOMENT WE FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT I WAS LIKE “hey if you wanna be participate cool, if you don’t want it’s fine too, at the end of the day it’s my body and my baby” He started saying me all the stuff he couldn’t say to me all those months living back in Playa, and what happen? We go to the usual check for the baby, it happens that I’m at risk of prepartum. I started to dilate at 33 weeks, a lot of meds, the doctor told me full recovery like no walking, no stairs, no nothing, just stay in bed. He started complaining of all the pills he had to buy for me, all the doctors appointments he had to pay. I get it he is the one who works, and he tells me I’m lazy when he knows my working situation even I searched heavens and earth for an online job here or in the states and for both I need residence of course, when I tried on fiverr, on freelancer and all those pages, I’m the one cooking and cleaning all the time cause of course he is the one working (4 days of the week only 4/6 hours). But I’m the lazy, the ungrateful and the mean, when I been alone the whole pregnancy cause he been traveling around, I don’t have no one here in Mexico City, at least I had some friends back in Playa, the situation in my country sucks for my friends and family to send me money cause I only receive the 50% of what they send me and he also always reminding me that “even your parents can’t help you” I’m really tired, I have a past of suicide behaviors and severe depression cause some stuff that happened in my childhood and the least I want right now it’s to be depressed, to be sad. My mom also lost her first baby at 25 years old like me and she was 8 months and a half pregnant, so that resonates in my head a lot too. I feel like it’s a lot to be living right now just by myself.. Im sorry it’s too long I just needed this.

Hey just try to stay strong for the next few weeks . Don’t feed into his drama or take the things he say too personal. At this point just focus that you want to relax and have a healthy baby. Then you can figure out how you want to proceed. Also check if there is any resources for pregnant women.

This is very similar to what I went threw with my baby’s dad. But we dated for 6 months and got pregnant we both live in Canada. I think people should chose if they want an abortion. He tried to force me to get an abortion but I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t kill my baby when I can raise her and love her. He was yelling at me all the time verbally abusing me and sometimes throwing things. So my mom and sister came to help me pack everything while he was at work and take me to my home town. Then I would still see him cuz we are trying to become a good couple for the baby. He would still yell at me every months and the baby could hear everything while she was still inside growing and she could feel I was so sad. I would always tell her they I will never let anything bad happen to her and I will always be there for her no matter what. I did better being safe with my family. Having people that will help you and baby stay safe is the best thing to do. Now her dad sees us on most weekends.

My baby’s dad doesn’t help much but at least he sees her. He can still get mad about other people stuff and it scares me and gives me flash back and I never want my baby to feel scared like that. So I can’t move back with the baby’s dad right now. Maybe one day but I’m preparing for if I can never move back with him. I’m very lucky because even after everything my baby is so happy. I have really bad postpartum depressed right now. I have had depression since 13 and wanted to kill myself many times so I know the feeling. Sometimes I feel like a bad mom for that but I keep going cuz I have to protect my baby so she never feels those things. I love her more than anything, she is the reason I live now. Even on days I feel so bad I can push myself to care for her. It’s so hard but I know it won’t be for ever and she is worth keeping safe. She is innocent.

Imagine that all those negative things he says to you, are really how he feels about himself. You are not lazy, he is. You are not mean, he is. You are not ungrateful, he is.

I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through that. Can you check and see if there might be some resources that can help you for the sake and safety of you and your child I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through that.

Hurt people, hurt people. The way people treat others is a reflection of what they have going on inside. Francesca is absolutely right, everything he’s saying to you is really how he feels about himself, just won’t admit it and in turn blames you so that he doesn’t have to take accountability
