You wrote, "I am pregnant now and have thought so much of the mother I need and want to be". Speaking from experience not having your mom around for your the birth of your baby will be really hard for you. I cried not having my mom around for all three babies and she has never seen my children. It was a choice my husband and I had to make for the safety of our kids. You can not wish for something that isn't there.
It wasn't an easy choice to make and yes there is alot of saddness not having the mom around you wish you can have. All new moms need their mothers, but not one who will be destructive. You will experience so much joy when your baby is born, but I do encourage you to grieve not having your mom around.
Lana I do think you will be a great mom!! I don't think you will repeat your mom's mistakes. Your child will have Grandpa (your dad) around to play with.
You will be in my prayers while you make a decision about Christmas.
