not telling my family when I have my baby

[jenniferbradford2015]

*Venting* The racial problems with my family have finally came to a boiling point when my family tried to make me choose in between them and my husband. So me and my husband have decided since they can't even treat our son or him equally just because of their skin color we are cutting all ties with my family and have also decided not to tell them the date of my scheduled c section for our daughter. We have found a new place to live and changed our numbers and we refuse to include them in ours or our children's lives.

My family don't accept my hubby because he is African American and from and we are west African they feel african American people are all bad and coming from dc you have to be some type of thug or drug dealer and he is neither thats why me him and our daughter live at least an hr away from them and they dont know about this new baby and i dont plan on telling them its really annoying honestly like you dont have to be with your own kind if thats not what makes you happy and the person you are with is what makes you happy and not one of your own then so be it its your life and maybe keeping a distance from them will help them understand that loosing their daughter and grandkids isnt worth it

I think that's good,  Jennifer,  but my guess is there are some family members - cousins,  aunts,  uncles,  etc.,  who don't have racial prejudice and you don't want to lose them.  As time passes you'll want to reach out to those who will welcome and support your growing family.
