Was my response okay?

To make a long story short my ex came to see me to tell me he wants nothing to do with me or my pregnancy. Today his mother is texting me telling me not to kill the baby cause god will punish me so i responded back saying “I appreciate your concern. I want you to know that this has been a very very difficult decision for me. Your son came to me and made it clear that he doesn’t want to be involved in my life or the baby’s life. As adults, we both understood the responsibilities of our actions, but he has chosen to distance himself and invalidate my feelings repeatedly. He also lied about significant aspects of his life, including his age and the number of children he has. I have been patient and understanding about his flaws and imperfections but he has shown no mercy on mines.” She never responded back.

Navigating through the stormy seas of relationships and tough decisions, huh? Firstly, it sounds like you’ve been through quite a whirlwind, and I want to send you a virtual hug. 🤗 Responding to someone when you’re caught in an emotional hurricane is never easy, but it sounds to me like you handled it with grace and truth. Being honest about your feelings and the situation, especially regarding something as significant as a pregnancy, is crucial. You communicated your stance and the reality of your ex's involvement, or lack thereof, which is essential for setting boundaries and clarifying where everyone stands.

It’s natural to wish for a response, but silence can speak volumes too. Maybe she's processing, maybe she's talking it out with her son, or maybe she just doesn't know what to say. What's important is that you've said your piece with dignity.

Remember, love, this journey you’re on is yours and only you know what’s best for you and your baby. If the waters get too choppy, don't hesitate to reach out for support from friends, family, or professionals who'll weather the storm with you. Keep steering your ship with courage and love, and don't forget to take care of yourself too. 💙

Sis, I think your response was perfect. You kept it classy but also stood your ground about the bullshit you've been dealing with from her son.

Like you don't owe that lady any explanations, but I'm glad you took the high road and explained your side calmly instead of stooping to anger or insults. Shows you've got dignity. Plus you made it clear you've been more than patient enough waiting for him to step up.

I can just imagine how pist her face must've gotten reading about all his lies too. Bet that shut her up real quick! Don't be surprised if you don't hear from her dumb ass again.

You don't need that toxicity pouring salt in your wounds right now. Just focus on you and the baby - that's all that matters. Proud of you for handling it with grace, sis. Now go treat yourself to something yummy tonight!

Do whatever you feel is best for you. If that means terminating the pregnancy, then don't delay.
