Where was this group in 2021?!?! Lol

Hello, I just discovered and joined this group and it already feels like therapy. I am the eldest and only daughter with an overbearing mum that almost drove my husband and I to a divorce when we had our first child in 2021. From showing up unannounced to our home and texting my younger brother who we let live with us to keep the door open for her, showing up unannounced and at odd hours demanding I wake the baby up cause she came to see “her granddaughter”, nursing my child even after I specifically asked her not to (no, she doesn’t lactate anymore) to inviting people to our home without telling my husband and I, she directly contributed to the PPD that still plagues me to this day! It was hard to cut her off (I finally did it after almost one yr and dealing with her bullshit and got calls from relatives all across the globe telling me my mother said I’m the worst and contributed to her heart condition?!?) because I wanted to believe she truly loved me and would change for me. However I almost lost my marriage and my family because of her and my husband and I literally had to go to therapy because of the trauma she impacted on us especially being first time parents. I’m so glad I found this group where I see women that are going through almost the same things I went through and we can all VENT without feeling shame. Looking to create a sisterhood amongst you wonder mamas! 💖❤️‍🔥

I’m sorry, I have to ask, your mum tried to breastfeed your child? Or have I read that wrong?! 😳

@Becca girl!! She literally stuck her nipple in my 2 month old daughter’s mouth talking about “she was hungry”. When I was literally in the next room! I was livid! And when I brought up how uncomfortable I was with it, she said I was “overreacting” and it’s part of “our culture”. HUH?!? And then she DID IT AGAIN! When my husband was home!

@Sapphire Fire oh hell no. That’s so wrong! I’d probably be sick if someone done that to mine 😳🤢🤮 Good on you for cutting her off! 🙌

@Becca especially knowing what she might be doing in her free time (she’s divorced).

You’re welcome and I’m so glad to hear. I try my best to give advice based on what I experience and what worked for me. I am in therapy myself and I have become a huge advocate for it! If I can’t give advice , that’s what I love about peanut 💕 , a place to share your personal stories and get advice from those who been through and come out other side

I’m sorry to hear about your experience with ur mum. Overbearing mothers can always make or beak a marriage if we let them! I’m glad to hear you have come out on the other side and continue to learn🙌🏼🫶🏼

@DJ AMMMM💕 this is a lovely group. Thank you for creating it. When I was going through it, I felt alone and ashamed and confused… literally on antidepressants and almost didn’t want to go through my 2nd pregnancy cause I was SO SCARED my mental health wouldn’t be able to handle it. And this was because of the hostile environment she created in MY OWN HOME. We are thriving now that she is no longer in our lives.

Congrats on cutting her off. She sounds INSANE. I could be very violent with someone who try to bf my baby. Hell no. I m sorry you had to deal with that.

@Aurélie thank you so much mama!
