I am dreading tonight, We're having to go out with my father and step mother tonight...
Long story behind it, but i'm not looking forward to it!
Basically 7 years ago I tried living with them and she chucked me out and she would phone up and say your father has chosen his 'new' family. From then on I had no contact... 2.5 years ago I started having contact with my father, from the fantastic support of my now husband. Once we announced our wedding, it all went heywire - she would interfere saying stuff that dad wasn't even thinking - like can you tell your father what role he has to play with the wedding, and is your step father giving you away... Then it went on and on like this, having time limits to reply to emails and it got stupid, but we did it to keep the peace.
Anyway, three weeks before the wedding she forwarded an email from somone else regarding photos, she did not write anything. Two days later I get a text from my father saying that I need to reply, and I would be f***ing annoyed if people where on the internet and not replying to the email (she was watching my facebook activity) I did actually reply to this email after I recieved the text, that evening I had an email back and saying she is with drawing support for mainintain helping to maintain his and mine relationship and no-one is going to the wedding including my father.
Well we were in the middle of actually sending a nice reply to her, I'm in bits!, and the email gets bounced back... I sent that email stating what I would like to happen and attached the email that bounced back.
Two days later, I get a text apology from my father - at this point I have had a three day mirgrain and two massive ulcers in my mouth!
Anyway, she decides to come... after we sort everything out.
Day of the wedding... She comes sits at the back of the room and keeps her distance, which is fine. We were sat down at the wedding breakfast after speeches and then all of a sudden she disappears.. before any food...
Apparently she didn't feel well... according to my other guests she didn't even speak to them, and kept popping aroud the corner to catch my dads eye!!! Well I left the room to have some more photos done, she was sat on a sofa outside, saw me coming and ran to leave the room!! Well they ALL leave after the meal!
Two days later, on honeymoon - i get a text saying how beautiful I looked and she didn't realise all my step fathers family where going to be there, and she had a panic attack and was no taxi's in the town we got married in.
We are so annoyed, to say the least! My step fathers family have been more of a family for the last 10 years than she has. The hotel has a taxi rank directly outside!!!
Now we have to go out for a meal with them!!! I am so not going to keep my temper...
So sorry for the rant!!!
