Could we possibly add any more stress to my son's wedding this Sunday?

Oh my goodness. Wow. That's my response to the previous thread about his fiancee's mother.

Now, oh my goodness. Wow. I hope the day goes better than you're expecting. Your son will see that you're such a wonderful mother by supporting him, even if it means you have to spend a day with several undesirable people. Unfortunately, some mothers are selfish and would rather avoid the stress than be there for their children.

Also- tell your mom Tracy from WW said "suck it" and tell your dad Tracy from WW said "you're a jerk." lol

2d- I totally understand how you feel. Any event in my family is like what you described. I can't offer any sage advice, except to second Felisha or suggest that rather than bashing your own head against the wall, you use your parent's heads. NOW THAT's ENTERTAINMENT!

Wow reading this wow, I have no worries then. I'm so sorry you have to deal with all of this and I pray that you will have strength to get through this day and be able to enjoy seeing your son get married!

I am speechless and it takes a lot to render me speechless. I have xanax?

Sending calming vibes your way for this weekend. Just WOW.

And i just read your story of your son's fiancee's mother and wow she is in her own world isn't she?

What's funny is that when I talked with other same-sex couples, they would talk about all the drama their families were causing over their having a same-sex wedding. My family never had the slightest issue with my marrying another woman. But as the above indicates, that doesn't mean they are drama-free.

Holy cow is all I can say. Strap in and hang on, while loving on your son and his bride.

@ 2nd- Lol. Only problem with the crash helmet is you'll have helmet hair for the pictures.

2d, take notes & pics to share here on Monday -- it might keep you from banging anyone's head on the wall!

I don't know what else to say other than good luck! And be sure to fill us all in afterwords. I'll keep my fingers crossed that everyone is on their best behavior for your son & his FW.

@2D...Damn, and I thought my family put the FUN in dysfunctional. You are a strong woman. You are going to be with NotFroofy for support. She loves you and will be fine with the fifth wheel scenario. Those of us in divorce situations often feel like the fifth wheel. It only truly sucks when you are the fifth wheel with a flat.

You raised a great son, despite all that FUN you put in dysfunctional. That fact, in and of itself, is quite the achievement.

If you don't want Sharon's Xanax, I have Clonapin. Sending hugs and good vibes.

Oh, I know break the ice by discussing those who help with trains. ; )

Wow....that's crazy. Good luck, and I hope you guys manage to have a good day despite the drama. And just remember, it'll all be over soon! Sending you good thoughts =]

Good Lord and to think I have 6 kids and may b a few more to marry off in the future..

I do hope all turns out great for you and for your son. Lots of HUGS and crossimg my fingers.

Sometimes we think of the worst but Good things turnout in the end!

Wow.....hold on tight- it's gonna be a wild ride!

(I will be anxiously logging in on monday morning for the recap with my cup o' coffee in hand!)

Sounds like you have a great script for Hollywood going.

@Carole B: Given that the bride's parents immigrated from Indonesia and have occasional troubles with colloquial English, I seriously doubt they would have heard of a "fluffer." But just in case they have, NotFroofy says she is telling catering not to supply knives at the reception. ;-)

Thinking of you today and hoping it all goes well. On another note, I've been estranged from my mother for just as long but NEVER sees her- a story I won't go into here. And I have mentioned the estrangement of my guy and his mother. What is incredible is the amount of grief he gets because of this. Even on here people seemed appalled that she wouldn't be invited to the wedding. Like ur dad, his father and other family members push him to speak with her and bury the hatchet. I'm amazed that people assume that just because someone is ur parent, that it means they should be allowed to treat you however they want and just because they are a parent, it should be overlooked or be excusable!! A toxic person, drunk, pedophile, abusive, or fill in the blank -, is just that and would NOT be welcomed or allowed if it were any other human being (or at least I would hope not) and yet people feel that just because it's a parent, ESSPECIALLY if it's a mother, they should get a free pass! cont

Anyway, I hope ur sons wedding day is all that he wants it to be, and that it goes as well as it can go for you as well.
