Let me just start this rant off by saying, I’m very close with my mom and have been pretty much since I became an “adult”. She’s an alcoholic that is constantly around drug dealers and put all that first when I was a kid, so when I moved out it was easier to have a relationship with her. I’m 23 now, currently 11w pregnant after 2 losses and other than my husband she was the first person I told. She was and is happy for me, but she’s CONSTANTLY telling people I’m pregnant that I don’t even know or have any type of contact with! Mind you she’s usually drunk. I confronted her about it and she apologized but she did the same my last pregnancy. EVEN WORSE… my husband is currently away as he’s in the army and I don’t drive (I know I’m working on it) so I asked if I could get a ride to get some groceries, she had her friend (pretty much my uncle as I’ve known him forever) take me. Pretty quickly in to the drive I noticed he was off, so I asked if he was drunk and he says “I’m drunk and high” WTF!!! I flat out asked why he would even pick me up if he’s like that and he said “cuz I can drive drunk” I’m fkn pissed. The fact my MOTHER had someone knowing they were drunk and high pick me up, and him doing it really just is the last straw for me. I’m pretty sure I’ve made the decision they will not be around me or my baby. I grew up with around alcoholics and drug addicts, I’m not letting my child do the same. And the fact they are knowingly and willingly to endanger me and my child just topped it all off. Please tell me I’m not over reacting!!?

All of my husbands family lives in a different state, but we will be moving there a little after the baby is born. I don’t really have a relationship with the rest of my family nor can I rely on them. And also no friends, just my husband really. I’m considering looking into new mom classes and groups around me just for a little support honestly.
