Hi all!
I announced to my family that I’m 14w, I told my dad and step mum in person as they live in the same city as I do, they had an absolutely heartwarming reaction, it was lovely!
I then text my brother as he lives 4 hours away, I told him by sending the scan photos and something along the lines of “a happy and welcome surprise!” He immediately called me and asked what it was, whose it was, and how many weeks. After this, he tells SIL he’s on the phone with me and I hear an annoyed “why?” In the background, he says “because of this” and (I assume) shows her the photos, her voice gets more irritated as she says “whose is that?!” And he responds with my name, she asks again in a more annoyed voice, “how many weeks?” He tells her 14w and she, once again, even more annoyed says, “no it isn’t! What’s the f- due date then?!” He asks me, I respond, and he repeats it, she goes silent and he follows up with “I’ll call you back” and hangs up.
My partner, dad, and step mum thought this was a disgusting and ridiculous response! I was baffled with the reaction!
Later that night, I receive a text from my brother saying something like “are you planning on keeping it or what?” My partner was instantly annoyed with this as he felt it was pure disrespect due to my past miscarriage which my family knows about. I responded yes, and we haven’t had contact since.
I really do not want to interact with either my brother or SIL after this, I’m not sure if I want to cut contact completely but after this I do not wish to give anymore updates on the baby or my pregnancy journey. Is this an unreasonable way to feel?
More context as I feel some might wonder: me and brother had a decent relationship with no animosity, he and my SIL have 6 children together.
