"We just don't trust her to make the right decisions."

My mom got pregnant with me when she was 22, a senior in undergrad. My grandmother froze her out of the family, told her sisters and brother that she was dead to them, that she was going to hell. She even got the priest at the church they went to to tell my mom she wasn't welcome in the Catholic church anymore.

So my mom has me, gets her PhD, develops several patents, works her way to the most prestigious microbiology labs in the world. Grandmother re-enters our lives when I'm 6, but just barely. She still routinely calls my mom a whore and tells me I'm a bastard and destined for hell.

But the worst was when my grandparents got the whole family together to go over their will (my mom had long since been written out of it). Grandmother gets to the part about the family trust, which needs two signatures -- people to be in charge of it after grandparents die. The lawyer asks who she wants to be the signers. My grandmother picks two of my aunts. But then she looks at my mom, then looks at me and says "we just don't trust her to make the right decisions."

Tl;dr: grandmother tells me to my face that my mom not aborting me is proof of her irresponsibility
