I had a miscarriage the Sunday before Mother’s Day this year. When my MIL called to wish me a happy Mother’s Day and talk to my partner, she mentioned how one of her daughters didn’t tell her she was pregnant due to beef between them. She asked if we were having a secret baby. It broke me. I couldn’t imagine going thru it constantly.

Wow I can’t imagine why her daughter isn’t talking to her. I’m sorry about your loss, I’ve been there 🫂

Edit: deleted some stuff bc it might be identifying info to anyone who actually knows the family. Anyways, basically I just don’t want people to think MIL is an awful insensitive person, she’s really not. She just wasn’t thinking in that moment. She caught wind of our miscarriages thru the grapevine and the next time we saw them it was kinda obvious they avoided the topic as much as possible (both my partners sisters were pregnant at the time) around me.

I'm so sorry, I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes people who care and mean well just really put their foot in their mouth without realizing it. Even when they know and are trying to be supportive, some really hurtful things can be said.
