This is what one expecting mom found herself dealing with after her estranged parents found out about her pregnancy and asked to be let back into her life. The 25-year-old had stopped speaking to them as a teenager, when she moved in with her grandparents.
The reason for this was that she had faced a childhood of being tormented by her older sister's best friend, Luna, which her parents justified because of this friend's difficult home life. After allowing Luna more and more access to her family and eventually moving in with her, the girl could not take any more.
Due to their ignoring what she went through as a child, she refused to let them be active grandparents to her unborn child. They were upset, and she wanted reassurance that she was doing the right thing.

25-year-old mom-to-be refuses to let estranged parents be grandparents after they favored her childhood enemy over her: 'They said we were going to make her feel wanted and welcome'
As a general rule, most people do not do something as drastic as going no contact with close family members unless they have a very good reason for it. To leave behind those who you grew up with or who raised you is often no easy decision, even when you have the worst kind of relationship with them. Nonetheless, it often proves to be the right thing to do for many individuals whose family causes them a high level of stress. Sometimes, it feels like the only option.
One of the downsides of making such a move is that it opens up the risk of those family members trying to make their way back into your life. This is most likely during momentous events like marriages, births, or inheritances, and it can make times that already require a lot of work seem extra overwhelming. Unfortunately, it is just something that those who are no contact have to be prepared for.
