I am in my late 30's, I have one DS who is 2.5years old. A few months ago I lost a pregnancy in tragic circumstances. I had to go into hospital to have a procedure etc.
I only told my younger sister and my mum about this happening as I was very upset. My parents visited me and things started to go more smoothly. However a month ago my mum dropped into a conversation that my sister was quite pregnant(we live a distance apart).
It turns out she had conceived a baby at the time of my op. No-one had told me. I waited for her to contact me and no-one did. So I asked her why and explained that i was very upset she hadn't told me. She gave a few excuses and told me it was her prerogative not to tell me until this time. I wasn't very happy with her reply as I felt unconsidered and hurt.
I am probably over reacting. But it has been a very stressful time and I feel very unsupported. My mum has taken her side and says she has done nothing wrong and that I should think about anti-depressants.
I honestly feel let down by my family. Anyone help with gaining perspective? The way forward? I have asked them to not contact me to give me time to process.
