I know what you're thinking: "Haha, yeah, mine is too 😅"
Since the "Turning Point" of the entire world with the assassination of Charlie Kirk, many of us have had our eyes opened to the spiritual warfare within society -- myself included. I wasn't even aware of it, but for years not only have I lived side-by-side with a demon, but that I have actually been making EXCUSES for its nefarious behavior. This is how truly manipulative evil can be to good people.
I am pregnant, and praise be to God, we have recently reached baby's twelfth week 🙏 A month ago however, we faced a scare: a bit of bleeding. It has since resolved itself, but my doctor has (obviously) wanted to keep a close eye on things, which involves a few ultrasounds.
Before leaving for our last appointment, my mother-in-law (who has been kept up-to-date about the entire situation since Day 1, abruptly came out and asked us, "They're booking her in for a lot of appointments -- is everything alright with the baby?! 😮" "...Well, yes, they're keeping an eye on things since the bleeding."
My mother-in-law is aware that our last pregnancy was a miscarriage. She personally believes that the loss was due to stress because (if all of her comments are said intentionally, her advice for the bleeding during last pregnancy was to, "Stop stressing out!~ 🥰 Just stop stressing out about the things you can't control~"
Yet, she did nothing to help alleviate said stress; she offered this advice and did nothing to support it. She didn't help with heating up a can of soup while I struggled with hyperemesis gravidarum. She never bothered to watch her grandchildren while my head was in the toilet 30× a day. She never asked HOW she could help 🤷♀️...
This pregnancy, not only does she not help -- she has ENDLESSLY tried to contribute to the stress. She hasn't left the apartment in 2 months. She lingers in our bedroom doorway, SITS on our bed. She doesn't sleep -- we are literally NEVER free of her miserable presence, and haven't been for 2 months. She has eaten what limited food I'm permitted due to my dietary restrictions!
So, if we connect dots... "Don't stress, but I'm going to actively contribute to your stress, therefore making me a hypocrite, because III believe that is why you lost the last baby."
And that's when I realized -- my mother-in-law is so hellbent on stressing me out because she wants us to lose it. She has wished ill upon our baby -- AND our last one. She wanted to know if "something was wrong?!" to not only try and stress me further with such an ignorant question, but to see if IT'S BEEN WORKING.
