I just got an email from my SIL saying that cousins of mine from my hometown know I am pregnant. I don't even speak to them nor have I told anyone from home or any social networks, so I am surprised they would know this fact.
(Backstory: I am NOT close to my parents (longer story that could be made into a Lifetime movie one of these days); so if my cousins know in my small hometown, then my parents know which I didn't want them to know since they are not a part of my life.)
I'm not happy about this and now upset that somehow it got out. The only person that it could have come from would be my MIL who's been known for keeping a relationship with my crazy mother after I have asked her to please stop. This is one of the many times I think that ignorance is bliss and I wish I didn't know the news got out. Thanks for letting me vent. Grrrrrrrrrrr.
Re: Not a happy camper
I don't know the story, but obviously something very serious must have happened to cause this disolved relationship. I'm so sorry that your pregnancy has become public knowledge, especially to those that you really wanted to keep it from. I hope that there aren't any more negative reprecussions from this.
((( hugs )))
Dana, I didn't know you don't have a relationship with your parents. I'm sorry, I know how rough it is.
I know this is going to happen with my mother as well, so, I feel your pain.
I'm sorry hun. It's frustrating, to say the least.

Thanks for letting me vent. I actually stepped away with a friend and we went to get some ice cream which helped me breathe and gather myself. I don't think my MIL would have tourtured me again with speaking to them and DH doesn't think it was her either. I am sorry I didn't go into much detail about my parents, but it is better not to dish is all out again. I really want to stay positive for this baby. It deserves that at the very least. I also need to control how I react to unhealthy news - - by not letting it get the best of me.
Katy - I knew you would understand.
Sometimes I wish I could enter the witness protection program.
Thanks guys.
This exactly
