I think I am in the right place now!

Hi-

I started off on the wrong board, but was referred here. My mother

who fits the " nada " decription quite well seems to have many counter

parts on this board.

The topic of competition is a sore spot for me. She prefers to think

of me as her sister. I am not to call her 'Mother' or any variation

of it. Actually, as a kid I started to call her that to make her mad.

One of our classic competition moments was when my husband and I

announced we were getting married. She suddenly, she was getting

married. Of course, her engagement broke off shortly later. It was

just long enough to distract from my planning. I thought she was done

with the glory hogging, until she wore her wedding dress to my

wedding!

Unbelievable!

Wow! How sad that she tried to ruin your wedding day like that.

At least by wearing her wedding dress, she must have looked foolish

to everyone there. If others hadn't noticed how your mother treated

you before, I'm sure they did then!!! I'm also sure she had

everyone wondering what the heck she thought she was doing!!!!

I hope that whatever she was trying to prove backfired on her and

that you still managed to have a lovely wedding after all.
