My mom finally pushed me to the point of blocking her and going no contact after sending me these texts while I was in labor.
Last week I had my first baby. My mom and I have not been on good terms for the whole pregnancy (well before that really), since she’s a raging narcissist and super emotionally immature and toxic, as well as an alcoholic. I have made other posts about texts she’s sent me as well.
She knew I was being induced, and started texting me this. I felt she was trying to make the experience all about her, with talking about when she had me, and just hammering me with questions and being very bothersome. So then a little while later, my aunt (her sister, who she is always fighting with) texted me and told me that my mom made a public Facebook post about me being in the hospital giving birth, without asking my permission. The post said: “My beautiful daughter is laying in a hospital awaiting the birth of her son (name)! I've been way too emotional all day thinking about my baby girl having her first baby! I've had tears anxiety etc! My sweet (my name) is making me a grandma to her son!”
This absolutely infuriated me and my husband. For her to post my private information and put the baby’s name out there like that without asking me first is just unacceptable to me. So I texted her about it and you can see her response. She decided to use this as a reason to tell me all the bad things my aunt has supposedly said about my husband. I’m not sure what any of that has to do with her making that post. My aunt told me the next day the post was still up so she never removed it, despite me and also my husband asking her to remove it. And then telling me I’m gullible. She’s texting me all this while I’m literally in the hospital in labor! I cannot imagine doing this to my child.
So after that last text I blocked her and haven’t talked to her since. I did not tell her about the birth and I absolutely don’t feel comfortable with her seeing my son. This situation is so hard, but I can’t allow her to impact my child’s life negatively.
