Neurotic over protecting parents

Hi my family is wearing me down
i hid my pregnancy for almost 7m as I know they’re overprotective but I told them a few days ago so I could get out of a trip to iraq to visit husbands family as I don’t like iraq .
I also told her not to tell my aunt or grandad and what does she do? She tells them.

i now want to go somewhere else in Europe in half term with the kids but my mum says flying isn’t safe and my husband said he won’t go anywhere until I fulfil the promise to visit his family and that trip needs to come first. My dad has booked days off and id like him to come on another trip with me and kids.

They have cancelled iraq as they think the Palestine war could close the airports in Turkey which I don’t think is likely.

my mum sends me really long messages and when she calls she just shouts as she’s always talked loud and refuses a hearing test and tells me my brother didn’t go abroad anywhere during their pregnancy but that’s a different issue not linked to safety.

im fed up of her neurotic attitude. I’ve started despising the pregnancy after all this but I don’t know what help perinatal team will offer as they discharged me before these issues came up.
