@Rachel they had a terrible relationship growing up and he moved away after she threatened to kill herself because of him and I’m not sure I’m he wants to invite that back into his life.
@Marley thank you, I appreciate your response but my partner isn’t sure that he wants to invite the drama that she brings back into his or our daughters life. She has left him with quite severe trauma. I know that she’ll treat our daughter completely differently to how she treated him but he doesn’t want to risk the chance of her using our daughter against us if that makes sense?? x
@Marley just because someone has a title doesn’t always mean they deserve to be in a child’s life. People don’t just cut contact for no reason.
@Caitlin couldn’t agree more
Make a plan so it's within your control. Plan to eat out somewhere and if it gets to be too much, you can always say baby needs to eat or such as a reason to need to leave. Gives her the chance to meet baby, but doesn't push into your boundaries and comfort zone. Her reaching out does sound like she's trying to make an effort to have a relationship, can give this chance to see if you want to have one or not
Surely it's a good opportunity for your partner to sort things out with his Mum?
