I think, if your parents can't support you and are passing on info about you to your ex then it's time to just stop telling them anything - other than how fantastic your life is going right now even if that might be something of an exaggeration. Just tell them the superficial stuff like difficult child drew a wonderful picture in school today, we made cookies together this weekend etc. It's hard not to have your parents to go to for advice, but they aren't being helpful anyway, and just make you feel badly. I do this with my husband's family, I don't know if I've ever told them about difficult child's diagnosis, we see them very seldom and only talk about superficial stuff. They don't understand and are a bit critical so I'd rather not share things they can criticize even more. My mom I can tell a few things to, she's getting older and sometimes doesn't quite get it, but she's supportive and listens and doesn't judge. My bro is something of a difficult child (undx'd) so it's kinda a case of she's been there done that, if you've been through it you're more understanding. And she was our sitter for difficult child until he was 5 so him having a diagnosis didn't surprise her.
Sorry your parents are less than supportive about your ex and the baby. :flower:
