Just need a bit of a rant and thoughts on whether I’m being unreasonable or what.
I’m currently on my second round of ivf. It’s destroyed me emotionally and socially, i find it so hard to be around babies or pregnant women.
So it has affected my friendships a lot over the past few years.
I confided in my mother in law who is desperate for more grandchildren. I sort of gave her the chance to be supportive as we were once close and then I avoided my in laws for a while because of a family member being pregnant. I explained why I was distant and she held my hand and told me she’s here for me and my dh and will help any way she can.
I’ve since told her of upcoming appointment dates and what’s going on ( she doesn’t really understand it) but since all she seems to do is share photos of her other grandchildren on social media and ( probably am being sensitive here) feels as though it’s rubbing it in my face. She said she’d be supportive but hasn’t once messaged/phoned to see if we are ok/how things are progressing.
It seems as though if I were to get pregnant on this round she’d soon want to be in contact with me like I’m just a vessel for her grandchild.
I just don’t want that when I haven’t had any support at all even though we’ve asked for it.
