AIBU to still be annoyed by this "psychic"?

[KrayKray00]

I'm not sure of all the correct terminology or bollocks whatever, and i have seen one or two myself for a girls night out. But this one psychic in particular really annoys me.

7 years ago When I fell pregnant with my son my DPs mother had a reading from a family friend who claims to be a psychic.

The lady told my DPs mother that the baby I was carrying is a little girl, she was going to be born early but healthy... and that "even though the baby isn't your sons you will all raise it as though it is..."

Now DPM and his sister who was there laughed this off but when they told me I felt sick, I was absolutely raging I thought how dare someone say something so evil and untrue.

Backstory is that I was in my late teens, I fell pregnant the first time we had sex in the first month of dating (this is not the debate so no flaming or shaming for that please). So the pregnancy was a huge surprise to my family and my DPs.

I wound myself up so much my mother had to calm me down for the sake of my child (if that makes sense I was less than 12 weeks pregnant)

The build up to my 20 week scan was looming and I was so worried that if they say I'm having a girl that the family are going to believe this "psychic"and also the worry that she said my baby was going to be premature.

I found out and fast forward I had a little boy, over due, healthy, absolute image of his dad no debate about it.

Now the reason I am bringing this up is because there is a family do coming up this summer and this women will be there DPs family still laugh it off but I am still rather angry.

The same women last year sent my DPs sister a message over Facebook telling her she is going to fall pregnant with twins that year, she was over the moon and rather excited. Unfortunately DPs sister and her husband have fertility issues and are under going IVF with two failed attempts and has not fallen pregnant since she received the message.

I just think this women is pure evil and doesn't deserve to "practise" being a psychic or call herself one or anything of the sort. I really want to say something to her but everyone (DP and his family and even some members of mine) are telling me to leave it and let it go.

Sorry for the long post but didn't want to drip feed!! Well done if you made it so far but WWUD?

What a vile women. What would she have hoped to gain by shit stirring like this?
Not sure I would able to let this go OP. Have you seen this women since?

Punch her in the face then say "you didn't see that coming did you you meddling old harridan"

Who is this woman? I wish she'd come along and predict that I would have a baby!

Some years I was told by a complete stranger that having DC was very much uppermost in my mind, but ntw she could see twins for me. I was ecstatic for about a week after that. This is what happens when you are emotionally vulnerable, but in truth I think the message was given in good faith.

I actually think the issues here is with your MIL not trusting you (you are after all the one who trapped her precious son after all of a month) otherwise why would she bring it up?

I have 'the gift'. I don't tell anyone what I see, good or bad!!

No you don't.

She is their weird friend you should treat her the same. Let it go no harm done.

YANBU and I would point blank refuse to go to the family do. Disgusting that your DH isn't supporting you on this btw.

If you have 'powers' then you reign in what you say. Like if you see something not right you don't go, oh btw, your missus there is shagging your best friend. It's common decency.

I know when we were trying for DD I was sooooo tempted to get a psychic reading, I think I did actually, who didn't get any of it right.

Whilst you're annoyed, to be truthful she knows she can see the future as much as I can run a marathon. Sometimes we say things and by chance they happen. Can't really attest it to being psychic though. Otherwise I'd have picked winning lottery numbers too. I'm careful what I say now, as I've made excuses in my time, they've actually happened. One very specific which freaked me out.

Just try and ignore her, or say here's my premature daughter by another man. See how funny PIL find it then.

This woman is a full on A hole.
And a cruel one at that. Not to mention an absolute trouble causing bitch. What she said to your DPM could have caused total ructions.
Also giving possible false hope to a women struggling with infertility is beyond corrupt.
Also on another subject. Why do we never hear of phsycics winning the lottery, because if there is such a thing of having phsycic powers and I had them. I'd be winning the jackpot every week. I'd be the bookies nightmare.

pombear
I am hearing a lot of woo bollocks lately, especially the appearance of a robin being a sign of a dead relative.
They live in your garden you fools. It's not your mother.
