I was at my mums house with my sisters. I suddenly became very ill, they called an ambulance but no one wanted to keep my baby while I went hospital. In the end I had to tell the ambulance people I wouldn’t go with them as I have no one to watch my baby. They wer disgusted I could tell. They could hear my family saying no I can’t keep the baby I don’t want too. These are the same people who never visited me when my baby was born. I just feel so alone. In the end her dad watched her. I want to have another baby but I know no one will help keep my older baby. I just feel so shit :(

I’m so sorry this happened to you and hope your doing well 🤍
I wouldn’t be able to forgive my family. The way I see it, this would have showed me that my baby was never safe with any of them to begin with.
This is enough for me to go no contact. My son is the most precious thing I have, if my family wouldn’t do everything to keep him safe in my time of need they lose the opportunity to watch him grow up.
I hope everything works out 🫶🏼

That’s awful, so sorry you had to go through that. People really can be heartless, and it hurts most when it comes from the people closest to you. Are you still with her dad? Regardless, how’s his family? Do they support at all? Hope you find people that deserve to be in your life, friends, a partner that supports you x

Going to be really honest and really harsh here as this is something I've been through recently and someone presented me with this question: if they're not in your life, what are you missing out on? I initially focused on missing what I *wished* I did have with those people, not what I actually had and I think that needs to be applied here. My god, I would watch over a stranger's baby if their mama was sick and had nowhere else to go, because that's basic human decency. What your family did there wasn't even help in an emergency so if you went no contact, what are you really losing? The answer I came to personally was nothing except the dreams/wishes/prayers I hoped these people would be to me but honestly weren't. Family isn't everything my love, at least not blood, you can make your own family and they may even be people you haven't yet met. This is what I tell myself when I see my dwindling circle.
