I'm kinda looking for a bit of advice/ reassurance.
I've been with my partner for over 3 years now and have a baby due in 2 months. My family absolutely hate my relationship and hate my partner because there is a big age gap between us.
I've been told to leave the house multiple times, my partner has received abuse from them over the phone, I've had horrendous arguments with them because they just won't accept our relationship, nor is my partner even welcome in the house and unfortunately the rest of my family have taken my parents side. I told my parents I was pregnant when I was about 18 weeks along and they often pushed for me to get an abortion or put my baby up for adoption.
I'm due in 2 months and they're still acting the same. I've told my mum she needs to pull her socks up or she will miss out time with her grandchild and she just laughs in my face.
I honestly dont know what to do anymore? I feel like I've played every card with my family and nothing works? I don't really feel like I have anyone on my side and I'm so exhausted from defending our relationship all the time.
Sorry for the rant but pregnancy is so stressful as it is, I'm planning on moving soon and ontop of all of this, I'm having to deal with my family's behaviour.
What else can I do?

Unfortunately you cant control your family’s reaction / feelings. It sounds like you may need to give them a wide birth for a while, try and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and time alone with your partner. They may come around x
