okay I need words of advice and possibly some encouragement. I'm 18 and my hubby is 20. I'm 30 weeks pregnant. We live with my parents. my mom is seriously a narcissist and my dad is an enabler when it comes to how she acts and treats me. We started setting up a nursery in their home because we thought we were going to be staying with them a while after the baby is born. but, hubby got a great new job and now we can afford our own place. I just told my parents we might be getting approved for the place we want and they are the exact opposite of supportive. Hubby's job is an hour away from my parents house , so the house we are trying to get approved for is obviously much closer to work (about 10 minutes away) which means its about a 50 minute drive from them. my mom said "oh so now I'm cut out" as in I'm cutting her out of my babies life. which is not true we would just have to drive to her or her to us to visit... I feel like my parents should be more supportive of this because shouldn't I be able to have my own home if I'm going to have a baby? They are acting like I've stomped on their feelings when in reality the house we are sharing is too small for all of us and I just really want my own space. Now I feel guilty for even wanting my own home. how do I deal with this? should I feel guilty or are they not being supportive enough that I'm trying to be an adult? my mom is acting like I can't do this on my own without her and its making me second guess myself. I'm in desperate need of some support right now 🤕

Don't feel scared . Sound like your mom just not ready for you to leave her.. And she probably think you not going to need her anymore.. Don't worry she'll come around .. Just try to invite her over for dinner or to doctor appointment or plan a girls day with her

I'm hoping she can get past it soon. it's already hard to move and then to feel like you don't have support is just painful @ciaramarie but you're right she will get over it!

She will be fine. I lived at my moms for a little bit and my so for a good job 2&1/2 hours away so of course he took it! We moved and my mom was really upset and depressed about it but she got over it lol.

@ehq, that is so horrible I'm so sorry! and yes she especially trays to control my emotional state. she gets angry at me if I cry or am stressed out and its inconvienent to her and goes out of her way to make me feel guilty if I've displeased her. it's a constant roller coaster between her being super nice because I'm trying to stay on her good side and her giving me silent treatment or worse starting conflict with me because I'm done putting up with her crap. at my baby shower (which I did not plan so I had no knowledge of what was going to be there food wise or anything ) she got so mad because they had pizza and she said "you didn't tell them that I COULDNT HAVE pizza" like it was her baby shower! and she also complained the entire time that she had to pay as much money as my Hubby's mom did like she shouldnt have to pay at all for anything! like I'm not worth it to her! and then she didn't talk to me for two days because there was pizza there ! she's always mad at me for something

@brafordfamily22, its so hard to do I applaud you for having the strength! I'm just not truly happy in this home with her I have to constantly walk on egg shells around her because she's so easily spun out into a shitty mood and then she takes it out on my dad and everyone so then he's angry with me too.

@ehq, its very disheartening and difficult. because I feel so guilty and I can't help it because my mom is literally stomping around the house now and being angry with everyone ever since I told her. instead of just having my back like I really need. 😟

@brafordfamily22, thank you! and yeah she keeps saying that I need someone to be with me for the first few weeks after the baby is born like I won't be able to handle it, but I know she's only going to judge me for everything I will do its hard to feel like your own mom doesn't understand you.
