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

You can’t control what your in-laws want to do. For all you know, they are the kind who are super afraid of taking care of kids. Also, they may decide to move because they feel you need more space now as you start your family. Isn’t it better that they move than they kicking you out? At the end of the day, you can only be in control of situations that you have the power over. And that includes finding external help, making backup plans, etc. We easily fall into the trap of stressing ourselves out over situations (and people) that are beyond our control. And because it’s beyond our control, that contributes to the stress as well. You can, however, choose to be in control of your perspective of the situation. Our disappointment in our situations sometimes really doesn’t help in making anything better. Choose better thoughts, thoughts that empower you and lift you up. You have the choice! 💪🏻
