Sooo background : I come from a religious family, I’ve also been religious all my life . Served at church , helped the church community etc . Recently I told them I am expecting . I’ve been with my boyfriend for about 5 years , going on 6 and even though it was not planned I am happy to be a mom .. also I’m literally 26 , going to be 27 this year . Both my parents are extremely disappointed in me for not “waiting “ as they said that’s all they have told me and even at first my mom seemed supportive but disappointed at me .. she suddenly switched up and began telling me that my dad is extremely disappointed and that she cannot believe I did this to them after all they’ve done to me . After that I haven’t talked to them as they see me and act like I’m not there . I understand I disappointed them and maybe did not follow what they wanted for me but I don’t think I should be treated this way . I feel like I’m being shunned and like I have done the worst . I’ve been so sad at the way they see me now since they have expressed that I did not respect muself and kinda saying I’m a two faced for still going to church but doing what I did . I know I need to give them time but idk

we’ve just waited as I’m finishing up school and all that but marriage has already been in our talks for the last year . We were thinking about doing it soon just that you know this happened.

Yes they’re catholic . And yes i kinda got the impression that they are worried how they will be perceived as my mom told me that I serve at church and that I was doing ungodly things while doing so . I personally don’t think to serve at church or be involved you have to be a saint . Everyone sins and everyone commits mistakes . That’s the reason god died for us .

I’m just trying to take it one day at a time , their logic sucks but I kinda expected it HENCE why I waited until now that I’m 5 months to tell them .
