Unsupportive Family

We started our conversation with my parents like this: We have already decided and want to share something with you. We don't want to hear anything negative, but we would love to hear anything positive or if you have any questions. My mom guessed it right away and was emotional and supportive. My dad obviously didn't hear what we had just said: he said that we are crazy. We said again, we already made our decision and don't want to hear anything negative but welcome your questions. Since he has made the odd comment. It stopped when my husband told him that Steve Jobs was adopted! My point is, you are sharing with them to be supportive. Let your mom know if she isn't, she won't be a part of your child's life. That was going to be the next step with my dad. You are not asking for approval. You already made up your mind.Good luck to you! Remember, we don't choose our family, we choose our friends.
