My family is not understanding...

VENT

I have always wanted to have kids, being a SAHM was my child hood dream. In '21 I had a horrific infection which left my tubes scarred & sealed off. In 23' I had one removed. My OBGYN then sent me to Mayo where I had tubal recanalization surgery in August with only 50% changes of success. This whole process has been grueling and draining and frankly the hardest thing I've ever gone through, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I've been very open on social media since I connect with a lot of women through my career & it's been a big source of support.

My family knows this. They follow me and I see them often. The other day my younger brother goes "why are you always posting pregnancy tests on your story? I don't want to know about my sister trying for a baby" and that really hurt me. He's not in the same phase so I know he doesn't understand but I was like seriously??? I must hide my struggle a little too well 🙄

My mom has also been harassing me to come get a flash tattoo from her since she started this new career. I have stated to her numerous times that I would love to, but I'm in my 2 week wait and can't risk anything adding stress to my body, but I would tell her the day my period started. TWICE since then she has asked again, not how I am but to come get a tattoo.

I'm just sick of no one caring about this process at all, none of them understand what I'm going through and I feel like it's making me more distant from them.
