A woman who lost her own mother very young says she decided to keep her pregnancy secret from the majority of her family - a decision they did not take well at all. Opening up about her unconventional choice, the woman explained her stepmother had become 'too pushy' about filling the mother role after their mum died, leaving her and her sister feeling very uncomfortable.
Her sister came to 'despise' their stepmother during her own two pregnancies, as she had 'tormented her with talk of how she'd need her, as her mum, she needed to be there for her baby'. The stepmother even told her becoming a mother would bond them closer together, an idea her sister just wasn't keen on at all.
