Unsupportive mother.
Im 29 and have recently found out i was4 weeks pregnant with my first child. My boyfriend is very happy and very supportive, He has been helping me build up the courage to tell my mother and assured me he had my back in every way.
While I was nervous I managed to tell her thinking she would be happy and give me support since this would be her first grandchild but I was completely wrong. Her first words to me was at your age you should know how to use protection and later that day after not mentioning it again told me that I would be a bad mother. I must add that she also hasn't met my boyfriend although we have been dating for a year and ive gave her every opportunity to meet him.
My boyfriends parents are very happy and his mum is very supportive which im greatful for even though they live over an hour away which isnt the end of the world but is far enough. It was over a week ago that I told her and shes not mentioned my baby again since finding out. Morning sickness has started and she hasn't once asked me how im feeling. Ive only had my mum in my life since I was 11 and im struggling with how unsupportive and disappointed she is.
How do I deal with the sadness I feel that the one person I thought would be my closest support system doesn't have a single good feeling towards my pregnancy.
