Quick update about my email to my mom
I posted the other day that I emailed my mom & let her know I was pregnant because of our aweful relationship. Well, to back track quickly, on Mother's Day she came over for filet (our yearly tradition) and sat in the living room by herself, didn't offer to really help, ignored my kids and left as soon as she was done eating. Last weekend we had to go to her house because she had some legal papers she wanted us to see. Again, very cold, didn't say much, didn't talk to the kids much and then told me I didn't look well. So I decided enough was enough, I emailed her to let her know I was pregnant the other day & she never called or emailed. So I figured I would just let it go. If she wants to talk then she'll talk. So about 2 hours ago my friend Sharon (of 22 years) text's me "Congrats! Is it true?" I was waiting until my 2nd tri to tell her but no biggie, I'm nearly 10 weeks now anyways. So I told her yes and asked her how she found out and she text me back that her mom told her. I asked her how her mom found out & she said "Oh, last weekend when your mom cut her hair".....WHAT? I text her back & told her that I didn't tell my mom until yesterday. So either she just assumed I was pregnant and went around telling people (because I didn't look so well) or my sister has a big mouth. I can't seem to get ahold of my sister all of a sudden......
I don't even care that anyone knows. I don't even care if my sister said something. I am just in shock because my mom doesn't care much for me, doesn't care much for my kids and I am shocked she would even mention me being pregnant to someone at all since she doesn't really acknowledge her grandchildren that are already here.....

Re: Quick update about my email to my mom
Thank you ladies :-)
I actually did email her a long letter about everything. I told her how it hurt me when she would attack me on the phone for doing things with my kids and I never even did them. It was so stupid. She'd call and accuse me of taking them to the zoo and I took them to the park, it makes no sense. I work with animal rescue, she'd call and fly off the handle accusing me of saving another dog. NOPE, I have 2 perm. dogs in my house that are members of our family. I leave room for 1 foster if anyone ever needs my help w/ my rescue. I know there are worse things to be accused of then spending time w/ my kids doing fun things or saving animals in need, it's just so wierd that she acts that way. I try to take the kids to her house 'cause she won't come to mine. It's the only way they'll see her. If I have to pee I have to take both kids with me. she will not be alone with them at all. She tells everyone "I raised my kids, these aren't my responsibility" but she didn't raise her kids. My grandma did. we lived with my grandma about 70% of our lives growing up. Even her friend who was her neighbor their entire life told me that everyone joked about my grandma raising us and my mom never being around. The last time I tried to talk to her she went to basically everyone in our church (since she's of course...2nd highest on the prayer chain) and told them I am verbally and mentally abusive. With that I switched churches and that's when I started cutting ties. I am always hopeful and I pray every night that things change for the better but I am tired of crying and being sick to my stomach over all of this. My biological father died when I was 18 (though I only knew him about 7 years on and off) and my step dad died in 2006. My mom was always nutty but she went off the deep end when he passed.
