My family and partner often say I'm too sensitive and too emotional so I would like to know aibu in this situation as I've been made to feel abit crushed by my family.
I've always struggled with my relationship with my mum, more so since have my ds (now 2) she is very dismissive of anything I have to say and never been supportive. I was feeling very low today as I'm going through a miscarriage that started on Sunday even though I was only 5 weeks along. I wasn't going to tell my mum as I'm not that close with her now and when I told her I was pregnant 2 years ago and told her not to tell anyone, she went and told all my relatives and my Mil.
Against my better judgement I told my mum I'd had a miscarriage because my hormones were all over the place, she'd let me down again and I just needed to talk to my mum. All she said was 'oh'. It was my older sisters birthday today who still lives with my mum, I drove the hour to their house to drop off a present this evening. My sister stayed with me 10 minutes then said she needed to go get money out the cash machine for a meal she was having on Friday.. I didn't understand why she needed to go then since I drove all that way to see her but she never came back. I was left with my mum. Not once did she mention the miscarriage or ask me even once if I was okay. The whole time she ignored me and played with my son. I get she doesn't see him often and she's right to put all her attention on him but not once did she look at me or even ask me one question. I just feel like dirt every time I see my mum I feel so unworthy of anything and more than anything just rejected. Basically how I've felt my whole life. Is this a reasonable response to this or am I being overly emotional?

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage OP. I can relate to most of this. I’ve got an abusive DS and my DM is awful to say the least. I’ve received a barrage of abuse from both over the last year and my DM basically admitted she hates me and no longer wants a relationship, similarly ignores me around my children etc. I’ve decided to walk away now, these people don’t value relationships and tend to drag you down as part of a vicious cycle.
