Not sure how to feel

I live at home with my parents and while breastfeeding my son.. my phone died so I reached for my moms, her phone had been last on my fathers and her messages, for a little context my mom offered to take a week off to help me with him, but the last conversation she was complaining that she wasn’t his father, and that she was losing patience while taking care of both of us, I just had a c section, and I still was up all night with him and was doing my best.. I was really trying to make sure she didn’t feel that way, but the worst message of it was her calling me sick in the head for being overly worried about him.. I can’t bring it up because I know I should have just clicked away, it wasn’t truly my business. But now I know for sure I cannot ask her for ANY help.

I would just ask her to leave at that point without saying too much, she’s your mother, she should want to help you and that’s wrong, I’m so sorry hun

Im so sorry love, I was just in the hospital for bleeding at 34 weeks and had to be their on a 72 hour watch, my parents had to watch my 15 month old (my dad took me to the hospital close to where they live rather then where my midwives are that I have a lot of other people who could have watched him) and the whole time all they did was btch n complain and made everything even more stressful and worse. I’m so sorry she’s even saying that about you it’s honestly so heartbreaking thinking not even your parents can help without feeling some type nasty way about it

Oh sweety it is very hard to know that, dont worry about it alot she is your mother its not the best situation but be kind on yourself and her try to thank her meaningfully when she does sth and use the kindest possible words like i cant thank you enough i know its hard and i know you are not my husband and i cant imagine what you went through when you got me, pray for me so i could get better and heal so i could take care of my baby, its very hard on all of us And for you keep reminding yourself that you are still learning but she has seen all of this so she know when you get sick you get better and so on just be patient I wish you all the best 😘😘 all these days will pass its about will you accept it and live it in the best possible way or just feel horrible
