I can't stop thinking about this. It's the first time to ever. My boyfriend told his mom about my diagnosis after a month into our relationship and her very first response was making sure we were using protection so I don't get pregnant. What if I wanted to? If she was worried about that, why not say that a month ago? Not as your first response to my dx. It makes me feel like she doesn't want my genes to mix her family. I just play out scenes in my head where I see her barely holding the baby in disgust. I knew before then she wanted grandchildren. It really hurts. Feels like I'm from some human reject clinic. I don't know how to feel. It's the first time I've had someone's parent not like me because of my dx.

I'm sorry

Maybe she just doesn't know you well enough yet and doesn't want a kid brought into an unstable environment (if you were unstable for example) She probably just doesn't understand and is looking out for her son, you haven't been dating long when she said it have you?, most parents tell their kids that regardless of a psych diagnosis.

Definiyely rude, but she might only know about the medications usually used for treatment. Seriously, everytime I see my psychiatrist she always asks what I'm using for birth control because the medications cause major birth defects and you won't know your pregnant till at least a few weeks ( it drives me nuts because I'm constantly having to repeat that my husband had a vasectomy 5 years ago, and no more little ones since, how do you not remember this or have it clearly visible in my file).

My mother in law said the same and back then I wasn't even feeling bad or sick. Some mothers are just rude.
Thanks for this!

Some people are so caught up on the stigmazation of MH diagnosis' that they would rather steer clear from it. I wouldn't worry about it.

Maybe she would prefer a committed relationship like a marriage first. Then a year or more of stable marriage. Financial security. Then a baby.

You know, kind of the old fashioned way.
