I’m in my second trimester with my first child. I was apprehensive about telling my narcissistic mother at first, but my dad told me she had a right to know. We were in low-contact for years and never had the best relationship, but now she’s kind of being gross about it? She keeps trying to refer to it as “our” child and if I don’t respond to her texts she makes her boyfriend bug me. My siblings and my dad have all told me they have no issues telling my mother to leave me alone, but I feel bad making them do it just because I’m scared of conflict. Should I just let my dad handle this and step back?
