Bit of Support Please Ladies!!!

Well I'm now 16wks along and have finally sent my parents a letter to tell them the news. The are unlikely to be very happy as I left a long marriage behind me just last year (in which I had 2 kids) and they havent even met my partner yet. I'm really worried about their reaction....some nice words ladies! Anyone been through anything similar? x

feeling a little better today, i know theyre just worried for me, at least their brutal honesty gave me a chance to explain some background of both my marriage and current relationship. im sure it will all calm down, i hope so anyway. thanks for the comments girls x

Just give them time they will come round it takes time but im sure things will work out, its a parents job to worry or so I have heard, it will all be worth it x

fingers crossed. theyre just so old fashioned, youd think it was the end of the world. gonna just have to leave them to it for a while, and hope it gets better. wonder if theyd rather have found out i was alcoholic or a junkie?!!! probably, then they could 'help'. leaving me to be a grown up and live my life my way? no way!!! (im 31!!)

im sorry to see it didnt go over well, i say give them time to come around...

[sorenr]

well, it didnt go down well at all :'(

thanks, i hope they'll come round in the end, been a big stress them not knowing so i suppose dealing with the aftermath will be easier. they're not mean people, but from a different era and would never divorce without a serious reason, im not sure they class not being in love as one of them. i just wish i could take their worries away, cos if they could see how happy i am or had any idea how unhappy i was, they wouldnt worry so much. as i say they are from another era and we dont do "feelings"!!

Well I havent been married, but I am with someone who my parents havent met, been together for just under a year and we are unmarried. I broke the news to my parents on Christmas day. Mum was a bit shocked but is now excited... she was more worried that she had never met my partner! But either way I live my life I am happy and that is all that matters :-)
