So after my partner’s decision to keep the pregnancy, her mother has said she will not support her and that she is throwing away her dreams and ruining everything, even though my girlfriend and I don’t feel that way.

It’s difficult enough dealing with an unplanned pregnancy without intense pressure and condemnation from one’s own mother. It’s a painful time.

That sucks, sorry to hear it. She's probably processing things at a few steps behind you two. She might come around at some point though. Do things decently and show that you're aiming to take care of each other. Besides, whose dream is getting thrown away? Having kids and a committed family is a good dream. · 5 months ago

Just replied to your other thread before seeing this post. Really sucks that your partner's mom has decided she won't be supporting her daughter. I hope she comes around. Raising a kid's hard work, but it sure ain't the end of all your hopes and dreams, and having good support sure makes a difference. · 5 months ago

what a sad reaction. i do wish both (all three actually) all the best and may the opinion change and the support you need come from her eventually. · 5 months ago

Bad mother, may the gods curse her.. parents should always stand behind their children. but on the other hand, in my humple optionion, nowadays there are no unplanned pregnancies.. just some people who did not use protection. please don't get me wrong, my mum was pregnant with me at the age of 17 and i have wonderful parents with a great parenthood. · 5 months ago
