Taken from life. “I understood everything from your behavior, you don't have to explain that you won't be there”: Said offended mother

Family relationships can be complicated and sometimes lead to misunderstandings that can last for years.

In my case, the situation with my mother revealed a lot of emotions related to ambitions and expectations. My mother, approaching her sixtieth birthday, wanted everything to be perfect. She wanted her daughter to come to the ceremony in an expensive car, with a rich husband, so she could show off to her family and friends.

Expectations and reality

Unfortunately, these desires do not always correspond to reality. During my pregnancy, I could not meet her expectations. When I expressed my concerns, she said: “I understood everything from your behavior: you do not have to explain anything”. This sentence had a huge meaning for me. I realized that in her eyes, my health did not matter as long as she could fulfill her ambitions.

Such situations show how important understanding and empathy are in relationships. Sometimes it's worth putting your own needs first, even if it means pain for your loved ones.

I understood everything from your behavior: you don't have to explain anything. You should have just told me that you don't care about your mother because you're making everything up. Shame on you! My own daughter won't be at the party!

My mother was offended and hung up. Her words hurt me, and tears flowed. My husband got scared and started calming me down. He wanted to call my mother, but I wouldn't let him. It's not worth it, her plans are more important to my mother than my health and the life of her grandson.

My pregnancy was full of challenges that could have ended in a miscarriage if not for my husband's financial and emotional support. He created a safe zone for me, but despite this I had to visit the hospital three times. The doctors emphasized that without their intervention and the comfort my husband provided me, I would not have been able to carry the pregnancy to term.

We were warned about the risk of premature birth, which forced us to carefully monitor our health. Every slightest suspicion prompted me to visit the clinic where my pregnancy was managed. Now, in the eighth month, I feel that I am approaching the finish line. I want to go through the last weeks of pregnancy calmly and safely welcome my baby into the world, who is worth all this effort.

Don't miss: From life. “I understood everything from your behavior, you don't have to explain anything”: My mother was offended
