A pregnant woman who says she's had a 'rough past' with her own mother says she feels let down by her again after she broke the news of her pregnancy to her dad against her wishes. The 35-year-old woman, who already has an eight-year-old son, says her mum has 'a history of going against [her] wishes', and apparently sees nothing wrong with this sort of behaviour as 'she’s an adult and can do what she wants'.
The family tends to just 'put up' with the way the mother is as she had a difficult childhood and hasn't had any help to deal with her own trauma. The expectant mum has found ways to cope by moving away and remaining low contact but does make sure they meet once a month so her mother can spend time with her grandchild.
