Having to cut your mom off

Having to cut my mom off because she never respected my wishes since finding out I was pregnant. This has to be the hardest thing I’ve done my mom and are were best friends at one point but all has changed once she met my husband and found out that I was pregnant. I’ve always been there for her and thought that she’d always be there for me she told people my personal/ private business and associates her self with people who don’t have any good intentions towards me and my family also she didn’t respect my boundaries/ wishes for the birth of my child and has been very unsupportive all of my postpartum journey so for those reasons I have to do this for the safety and wellbeing of my family.

My mother was not my best friend and even still it was hard, there’s a lot of emotions and it certainly doesn’t help that some people question your choices with “but they’re your parents/childs grandparent” etc. I’ve been no contact since 2021, she doesn’t even know I have 3 kids. If it’s best for you and your wellbeing focus on that. It has gotten easier over time. She reached out to my l a few months ago and she’s proved she hasn’t changed.

Have you talked to her about it? Maybe she jealous 🤷🏽‍♀️ Maybe since yal were close at one time and now she feels he came and took u away. Maybe she heard rumors about him... Is it him she dont like? Hopefully she will change and yal can get back close.. But til then, yea, do what ya think is best for yal at the moment hun!!

Just came to say you’re not the only one babe

I never had a close relationship with my mom. She was never there as a mother. I finally put me first and stopped talking to her. We haven’t spoke in over 6 years. Hardest thing because I always longed for her being in my life. I never thought I could do it but here I am. I don’t know your situation completely. But I’m here to say it will always suck. This app made me realize I’m not alone though when it comes to family being there. I have a lot of issues with mine as to they aren’t very caring or supportive. It definitely sucks to find out the hard way they don’t have your back and wish you well. But I hope things get better for you. Sometimes the only thing we can do is do what’s best for us even when it hurts. I also knew I didn’t want her ever hurting my boy like she hurt me. I didn’t want no in and out grandma for him. I knew the feeling so also we have to do what’s best for the sake of our little babes. ♥️

You need to do what's best for you and your family Unfortunately toxic is toxic Iv had to do this with my eldest sister

Had a similar experience with my own mum, my first pregnancy she involved my pregnant sister that i hadn’t had a relationship with for over 10 years in everything that involved me and my pregnancy, she shares private information about me to people who i don’t have good relationships with and just generally doesn’t respect me or anything i say shes a narcissist and as hard as it is to not have a relationship with her i know its whats best for me in the long run Just know youre not alone ❤️
