Mentally and emotionally unbalanced

Recently I'm been feeling mentally and emotionally unbalanced with my in-laws. Been living tgt since married and I'm pregnant w their first grandchild and they still decided to move out to their new house leaving me behind when I need them the most. Although as mentioned tat will come back frequently to help but I just keep feeling tat it's so not the right time. Now I keep telling myself tat just let them be and I'll be fine but on the other hand I keep thinking and worrying. 😔 I know I will always have the support from my mom but as her health is not tat good I oso don't want to. 😔 I just keep thinking about y can't the in-law support more when it's their first grandchild (their own blood grandchild). I'm so mentally and emotionally affected. 😭 #pleasehelp #firsttimemom #firstbaby #firstmom

I honestly think it's better that ur in-laws move out now. Perhaps they are also considering abt the potential conflict tt may arise with taking care of ur child in the same house. I would take it as a kind gesture of them to give me some space in raising my own family, esp hearing all the horrible stories abt in-laws or even own parents living tgt. And like they said, I'm sure they wld help whenever u need them . My in-laws and my parents do not live with us but they're always just a phone call away to help us. I was blessed that during my firstborn's first 2 years, my mom helped to take care of him when I'm at work. But now tt I've changed workplace to be nearer to home, I've to send my firstborn to childcare. Being a teacher I have to be in sch by 7am and childcare would just be open so most of the time my hubby will send him to cc. On days he work night shift the day before, my FIL wld come over early morn to accompany my boy and send him to sch instead. I think, it's good too not to fully depend on them, but I know they wld be willing to help in whatever way they cld.
