Rain....I'm sorry you have to put up with the likes of your mom when she is being naive, selfish and ignorant.

I can pretty much tell you that even if she did agree to go to counceling...because she doesn't "see" that she has any issues, anything the T would bring up with be just the motivation she needed to beat feet out of the office never to return again.

It's just like trying to make an alcoholic go to AA. If they are not willing to admit they are an alcoholic, then AA will do nothing for them. If your mom is not willing to admit that her thoughts are skewed, she will get nothing out of therapy.

Hopefully, when your mom sees that precious little baby you are about to have, something in her heart will spark and she will fall in love with this child and want to do right by the child. I pray that happens for all of you.

You name your child anything you like and stand your ground with your mom. You are completely within your rights to do so.
