VENT!!!!!

My husband thought it'd be a good idea for us to move in with his family... far far away from anyone I know. I'm not able to even transfer my Medicaid down here since it hasn't been approved where we moved from... I'm a high risk pregnancy I'm diabetic and have a negative blood type. I'm currently 7w4d pregnant and honestly feeling alone. He has ignored me along with his family since we moved here Wednesday... also we are broke he has no job and I had to quit because of my health. I'm miserable and hot she doesn't believe in air conditioning and lives in an old plantation house. Her rules are driving me insane! We are 23 years old not allowed in the same room alone together, I'm not allowed outside or allowed to go anywhere until I give birth (her rule). I feel so isolated and have no one :(

Would you rather live your life the crazy way you are living it now or would you rather live at your parents?? I could tell you my option, my mom could never control me as a teenager and if I was 23, my mother in law definitely would not be controlling me. I'm sorry to hear that your husband just tells you to leave instead of try and fix the problem, sounds like you should leave and see what he says then...

we've been married for 2 years. He told me to leave because all I do is complain and cry... honestly I don't know what I'm suppose to do my parents have a foster child and I don't want to be around that.

Don't stress about the blood situation. I have it too along with a few other complications. It is extreemly rare for it to effect the first born. Can you talk to your mom and see if she can help you out? I have a very over bearing father in law so I've been through simular situations with my husband always ignoring me when it came to his family. We've been married 4 years and things are finally normalizing. If you put your foot down and make your husband realize how serious you are about either moving back home or whatever you decide is best I hope he comes around to back you up. How long have you been married? Sometimes it takes awhile to break boys away from their moms.

omg I'm so sorry! You and your baby come first! if your husband isnt going to stand up for you, you need to stand up for you! Her rules are irrational and it seems as if she has a control issue. My fiances mother has co.trol issues as well and I lived with her for about a year and a half, she stepped on me and stepped on me until I put my foot down as a woman and as a mother and let her know she had no say so over me or my child. She now respects me as a woman bc I showed her, I AM a woman. I did end up depressed over it among numerous other things that came along with that so Id advise you to remove yourself from that situation before it's too late. Take care of yourself and goodluck, sweetie!

I have talked to him I even suggested that I could take some parenting classes so I can meet some people but he thinks it's a bad idea saying everyone here would despise me because I'm white. He's AB positive I've already had to get a shot for it. I'm not able to go to my appointments because his brother wrecked our car last night I wasn't even aware he had taken it. I just feel like we were better off at my parents yeah they were strict on him because he didn't have a job but he should. He's waiting to reenlist into the army but that's months from now.

That is not good. Have you had a chance to talk to your husband? You really should talk with him. You are married, he should not be listening to his mom's rules over your needs. Your needs should take priority over any nonsense she comes up with. Is he a positive blood type? You only need to worry about being a negative blood type of he is a positive. As for going outside... You need fresh air especially if the house is hot and stuffy but above that you and the baby need vitiman d. It is very very important and can help with depression which it certinaly seems like you are dealing with. I really hope your husband comes around.

She believes that since he's her son he needs to stay in his room... I still don't understand that... we aren't allowed to show affection or I'll be kicked out. I'm not allowed outside because of their neighborhood it's not the safest. I do appreciate your responses I'm just going insane from the hormones and her rules they just don't mix.
