TMI!!!!!

I am not friends with her on Facebook but because we have this mutual friend on there I saw her comment

I feel lots of things. Jealousy is the main one. Jealousy for his baby. That he will have great loving parents. That he will be set up in life with love and positiveness. Unlike me... Who was dealt a bad hand from the deck at the start.

Are these feelings wrong or bad??? I feel guilty for being jealous

I am happy for my therapist as I know he wants a child of his own and will make a great dad

But the pang of jealousy hurts. The hole in me that didn't get loving parents when I needed it the most is there. It really touches on that longing and craving for a paternal figure

Also realizing T is changing and will change further. And will he take an extended leave when the baby is born. And am I not important anymore... Like I was.

t has not mentioned ANYTHING to me. And i feel awkward bringing it up bc he hasn't. But i want to talk about it

Anyone have any advice?
Maybe you should self censor on this event. If he brings it up, you can talk a little. Otherwise it's just prudent to respect his privacy. you are feeling like a sibling, it seems to me. Sibling rivalry. :/
