Subject: Holiday from Hades. Come on in if this was one of the worst
My young adult son has depression and anxiety. Blames me for how things have gone and does not live with me. Did not see him on Christmas and will not see him today. I have done EVERYTHING to help this child. He is very hurtful saying I have destroyed his life. I am just hoping one day he will agree to get help. I will always be willing to help him, but this is so hard....

NP here. I'm really sorry. Today is my birthday. The first time I got pregnant (after years of trying, IUI, and then IVF), my due date was my birthday. I eventually lost the pregnancy and had to have a D&C. I still remember that birthday, right after Christmas, when I was still trying unsuccessfully. We had so many people asking about why didn't we have kids etc. My sister does wish ornaments. It broke my heart to read mine from the previous year, wishing for a baby, for years in a row.
Be kind to yourself. It's a form of grief no one talks about...but your grief is real.
Having had 4 MC from infertility I know the grief is real. Maybe sister should stop making those ornaments? It serves as a painful reminder. So sorry for both of your losses.

Thank you. Believe it or not, I’m not that upset about it. I was more torn up over my Mom passing five years ago. Have a safe New Year…

Silver lining is she invited a very elderly relative (90+) but that person was not able to make it down.
Your post is def top 10 in my book. Your mil is such a pure, distilled sociopath, it takes my breath away. I have never met people like that, and I am 51. Just wow.

Solidarity. We were excited to announce this week and
instead while out of state at my parents, I started spotting on Christmas eve and had a full on miscarriage on Christmas Day. Which, since we were staying with family and had zero supplies, supposed to be cooking dinner etc..was how I ended up telling my
mom. Not sure if she told my dad or he decided it was just “women stuff”. We drove home on Sunday. I’m sorry on top of it people were piling on to you about when to expect a baby. Wishing you space for your grief and healing.
