Like an idiot I posted that "October had been a long month" on my Facebook. It was. For MANY reasons.
My mother called me to ask why. I don't know how many times I told her I don't want t talk about it, but her motherly guilt own and there I was embarrassed, ashamed and with tears streaming down my face telling my mother over the phone I can't have kids.....we can't have kids.
She pressed on and finally I had enough. Her response? We can help pay- I cut her off. Then Her response of do you know wh-I cut her off. Followed by "do you want to talk about it"? Sent a white hot surge of anger. The she asked if my husband would want to talk about it... Seething frustration.
The best line of her conversation is that she empathizes with us....
Did she really not realize she is the mother, talking to her CHILD, about not being able to have kids.
She told me she won't talk about it unless I bring it up.
No worries people. She told my brother and his wife. They're not trying to have kids....
