Worst Ending to an Amber Alert
http://www.theday.com/article/20130226/NWS04/130229705/-1/nws
I saw an amber alert last night and woke up to this article this morning... the rundown: unstable grandmother picks up grandkids from daycare and shoots herself and the babies, it was the son's 2 year old birthday.
My mother and I have not seen each other in almost 2 years, DH & I are buying a house and TTC. My mother is irrational but is trying to get back in my life. I read things like this and don't want to give an inch. If she finds out when/if I become pregnant, she will flip her lid and feel entitled to my baby somehow.
Sorry for the rant, but, somehow I feel like a bad person for not trying to make things better with my mother. Perhaps if she truly wants a relationship with me down the road it will be after intense therapy and strict boundaries. If she doesn't comply, restraining order it is...
Thanks for reading my vent
Re: My worst fear
I know it's hard not to feel guilty considering it is your mother, but you need to do what's right for you and the family you have with your H. I don't know your situation, but I imagine it must be that bad if you already have cut your mother from your life. So yea, don't feel bad - do what's best for you.
