i hear you. my brother tried to punch me out. that was the last straw.
i stopped seeing him when i was in town.
i was afraid he would act out when i was pregnant when the family wanted to get together for a holiday
i did not see him for years. i spoke at his funeral.
the family & friends loved my talk.
much love

I'd cut all contact.

Your mom is trying to manipulate you back into line. Don't play the game.
I have found I have to be my own hero. My family was not a safe place. Sure I wish I could be there for my nieces, but I have to protect myself and my children from an extremely disturbing system.
A therapist can help empower you and help you let go of the guilt.
I can be my hero. My god that makes me cry in a powerful way.
OP listen to this. Be your own hero. Move on past the family that hurt you and embrace this new family and new baby as your true extended family. Seek joy. Find an adorable little wooden toy to buy for this baby and let your heart be happy.
Peace to you. 💕
