I only have a small family with just a couple of people, everyone else is either NC or dead. My grandmother was the first person I told when I found out I was pregnant and instead of giving her congratulations, she expressed concern that my auntie and her dp will be jealous. She tried to prepare me for the possibility of a miscarriage as it still quite early, and even pulled me up on an abortion I had many years ago. As if that’s at all relevant... it was all abit strange but nothing in comparison for what was about to unfold.
I didn’t miscarriage, and I am starting to show so the time had come to tell my auntie. She lives far away and I only see her once or twice a year but I was worried she’d see pictures on FB, etc so I decided it was better to tell her myself. She’s been with her dp for almost four years and I know they have been trying for a baby. I did feel bad for them and that’s why I put off telling her but I can’t keep it a secret forever.
I told her via messenger as I don’t see her often, and she proceeded to block me. No congratulations, no nothings. I was shocked, but I just left it at that hoping if I give her time she will come round. But it didn’t stop there. She managed to get on my Gran’s FB and sent me nasty messages posing as my gran saying things like ‘you’re a selfish girl, etc’. She then sent a nasty picture of her DP giving the middle finger before proceeding to block me on my Gran’s account. I have spoken to my gran who has no knowledge of any of this. My gran says she wishes I’d never said anything in the first place and asked me how I would feel if the roles were reversed. I ended up feeling really guilty for just being pregnant but now I am silently seething as being made to feel this way..
