Will try and keep this short but feel free to ask any questions...
Long story short my other half has a ridiculously strained relationship with vast majority of his family. They have nothing but a negative effect on him and in turn on me and my son too. They're not allowed to have anything to do with my stepdaughter (her mum's choice but completely respected and understood by us) because of their behaviours. And they have now been repeating the same mistakes again. My OH has completely cut some of them out and barely has anything to do with some of the others.
From discussions and experiences I've had with him and them nothing has or will ever change. They admit no fault to anything they've done and think they're in the right about everything.
So on to the dilemma, I'm just over 13 weeks pregnant. After plenty of discussion myself and OH are agreed that most of his family won't be allowed to have anything to do with the new baby.
I don't think we are being unreasonable but it's more advice on how to handle it when we start getting messages from them when they find out about the baby.
Any advice from anyone who may have gone through similar and how they responded to messages would be greatly appreciated.
