Hi everyone
My boyfriend and I just bought our first house. I’m 30 weeks pregnant. So as to not drip feed for background I didn’t speak to my dad for 3 years as he was abusive to me growing up. I met him him last year after those 3 years and he had really changed, new partner, renovated their house, got a new job and stopped drinking as much. He’s been really involved and can’t wait for the birth of his grandson. I get on well with his partner too, she’s lovely.
They were passing by the town we live in today and asked if I needed anything (our nearest shop is in the town they live in) and I asked them to pick me up my inhaler. I wasn’t worried about contracting the virus from them because they’re both WFH just now and they were making their first trip to see his partners mum in a care home (through the window)
My partner is aware of what my dad did to me and understand why he has reservations about him, I get it, but I’m an adult woman and can make these decisions and trust my judgement. I’m not stupid!
Anyway, they gave me the inhaler and I asked if they wanted to come round the back and look at my kitchen (we are renovating it) through the window which they did, my partner was in a cupboard nearby doing some electrician stuff so quickly said hi when my dad shouted hi to him.
This was 11am, it’s not 8:30pm and he’s been an absolute arsehole all day and has hardly spoke to me. He’s told me before he doesn’t like my dad which is fair enough, but he’s happy for his mum to be in his life even though she ripped up our scan picture and told us she was going to milk herself when we announced our pregnancy.
I’m actually fed up now and could burst into tears?! Am I being stupid or what?
