My (27F) mom (62F) has always been somewhat controlling and toxic. I didn’t realize how enmeshed and toxic my relationship with her was until I was 22 honestly. Now I’m 20 weeks pregnant with a little girl named Eleanor. My mom has made it clear that she doesn’t like the name and only calls her Nora. She’s even typed NORA in all caps when I call her Eleanor in texts. I know it’s maybe a little silly to be upset about her only using the baby’s nickname but it’s just so weird for her to be so passive aggressive about it. And my mom keeps calling her “My Nora”, like um no she’s not your child, mom. Am I over reacting? How the hell do I handle this?
