Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 We didn't elope, but my family didn't meet my husband until the day before the wedding, and we still only had the 2 of us and our 2 best friends. And it was because I knew my mom wouldn't know how to act...and I was right based on the spectical she preformed the night before telling me it wasn't too late to throw something-anything-together. L Kay wrote: I remember " planning my wedding " with my sister and mom. They had all the details worked out just for me. My husband and I wanted a very small service (10 or 20 people) and wanted, of course, to include our friends. Mom and Sis started planning the invitation list with people I'd never even met and it was quickly growing...none of our friends included. When I said it wasn't what I wanted, they giggled and told me that they'd handle the wedding - all I had to do was show up. I said, " Forget it. " and walked out. At the service, we had my parents, his parents, and his 5 year old son in a sitting room of the local church. Sis did the reception at his parent's house and we invited friends and family to it. Ironically, nobody was bothered about the service except Mom who complained that she couldn't see why I'd invite my husband's son to the wedding and not my neices (same age), and that I should be forever grateful that sis did the reception when I was too rude to invite her to the wedding. (Sis and Mom planned for her to do the reception, and called my MIL and told her they would do it but it was going to be at her house.). Long story just to say their BPD presence at your wedding is not necessarily a gift. If I had it to do over, I'd have eloped. - sleddog wrote: > I wonder a lot if I will ever be able to reconcile with her. It's hard for me to imagine not inviting her to my wedding (that is...if I ever have one...) or my children >having a grandmother, even if it is very restricted visitation. But it's still hard to just think that she would be completely left out, even with her past behavior. if I had it to do over, she would not have been invited to my weddin...it wasn't my wedding, it was hers..she picked the reception hall, she picked the menue, she had me wear her dress ( with the understanding if we cut corners, any amount left over she's give to us..LOL I was stupid back then, I belived her we didn't get anything) she picked the flowers..the only thing she didn't pick was the groom and she tried real hard to break us up Jackie --------------------------------- Don't get soaked.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 A huge hug to you. I think that most if not all of us on this list have had those same fears at sometime or another. My biggest one was would I be a decent mother. Well my daughter is now 10 and we are as close as two ppl. can be. People sometimes says it is hard to be around us because we are symbiotic at times. We just get each other. We have our different likes and dislikes, but we each appreciate that in each other. One thing that I have learned in life is that family is not allways the ppl. you share blood with. I have a very close knit family, just none of us share blood. What we do share is heart and a deep caring for each other. My nonblood sister got a new boyfriend about three years ago and he was having a down week so I got him a little present. He was shocked and said why would you do this for me. I replied because you are know family. He all most cried! Lilly junkinthere wrote: What am I still afraid of? Well, seeing as it's only been two weeks since I've figured this out, I'm still afraid of a lot. I'm afraid of what my nada is capable of, she might do her best to ruin my life now that she senses an little self respect in me. I'm afraid that she'll suck me back into her web of fear, obligation and guilt, and I'll never get back out again. I'm afraid she'll find me on this message board. I'm afraid of her rage, it still makes me want to cower. I'm afraid of what's going to happen in two years from now when I have a graduation. Graduations are always horrible. I do not want to invite any of my family members. I'm afraid graduation will be sad when I see other people with their families. I'm afraid that when/if I get married, my side of the church will be empty. I'm afraid I'll be walking myself down the isle. I'm afraid that I will go crazy. I'm afraid I will never be able to rebuild myself. I'm afraid that I've become her. I'm afraid I'll abuse my children when/if I have them. There's more, but I figure I should stop here.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I ask myself that same question, " What am I afraid of? " I am a 36 year old woman who is very independent. I have had no contact for several months but look over my shoulder all the time. Will she show up on my door step? Will she attempt to get my children? I know I have the ability to say " no " and I have, but I feel like that beaten dog...scared. When will the next grenade go off? You are not alone in your feelings.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I ask myself that same question, " What am I afraid of? " I am a 36 year old woman who is very independent. I have had no contact for several months but look over my shoulder all the time. Will she show up on my door step? Will she attempt to get my children? I know I have the ability to say " no " and I have, but I feel like that beaten dog...scared. When will the next grenade go off? You are not alone in your feelings.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Ahhhhh J. all I can do is give you a big huge hug. You will figure it out I promise. From what you have said so far, I can tell one one thing you are you are very brave and truthfull and courageous. To be able to admitt your fears means that you can conquer them. So, what do we know about who you really are so far: You are brave, thruthfull and courageous. You also are apparently goal oriented because you talk of graduating in two years!
