[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so sorry you're going through this.  I had some family issues as well and it's clear from your OP that you are still hoping for her to be the loving mother you deserve.  I agree with everyone that you should wait to tell her (or text her then block her number so you don't hear the barrage of insults) but please take time to grieve the loss of a mother you never had.  That "perfect" or "good" mother that we all hope for.  You need to realize that that mother is gone (and never was) and that you need to go through the grieving process.

Only then a part of you won't still crave (or hope) for some positive feedback from her and get pulled into the cycle of needing to tell her happy things about you.  YOu are only doing it because there is still a part of you that hopes the "good" mother will come out and be there.

I'm so sorry.  It is a difficult process.  I went through it and it's hard, but it really puts you in a better frame of mind once you go through it.

Congratulations on your baby.[/quote]
