Hi Lana Marie,
The best advice I can give is to steer clear of Christmas with your mother, and any other interaction for that matter. I know its a tough decision to make, but what matters now is you and YOUR family. As an IBS sufferer you certainly don't need the stress, and with a baby on the way...you owe it to yourself to avoid such painful situations and minimise the stress on both yourself and your beautiful baby.
The way I see it is that our parents bring us into this world through their love. That does not mean they own us, and they certainly do not have the right to abuse us(mentally or otherwise).
This is a guys perspective, and probably a little selfish I know, but if a situation can't be fixed I find myself asking 'What does this do for me or those that I case about?' if the answer is nothing, then it's time to close the door and walk away. You may feel a little guilty in the short-run, but odds are you'll be feeling a lot better from not putting yourself through the torment and heartache.
Ultimately the decision is yours and I am sure you will decide on the right path for you. But no matter what you choose to do, always remember that we are all here for you.
Best regards,
Tim
