Potentially Having to take family off guest list!

Danielle, on August 6, 2019 at 7:15 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 1 7
So I have posted here before and I won’t get into it too much but we do not talk to my FH side of the family at all except his brother. His mother sister and his sisters kids are extremely toxic. My FH sister is a 38 year old felon living in a one bedroom at her mothers house with two kids with no job, car, drivers license and all that, she has had cps called on her numerous times and has once threatened to do it to us because she thought we called although she had no proof and we didn’t. At one point the police were called on his mothers behalf and she was even more threatening once the cops told her she absolutely had no say in the matter in which she called them on me for... once we moved out we cut them off completely. We invited his brother and his girlfriend and the their two kids to be apart of the wedding party and they didn’t wanna because it wasn’t right that his mom wasn’t gonna be there... then Sunday I told his brother that our engagement party is this October 19th and my FHs sisters daughter went and changed the day of her daughters second birthday to October 19th instead of October 26th and then had the nerve to send me a smart ass message saying it’s funny how our engagement party is on the same day as her daughters..!!! Except she doesn’t realize that she posted on her Facebook that she was having it the 26th and made the change the day after his brother was invited to our engagement party? It’s vindictive behavior, it’s in hurt that you won’t be apart of my life so let me see how bad I can hurt you and this is why we don’t have these people in our lives and they don’t see any problems with their behaviors. His brother said he’s coming but hasn’t officially responded to the invite and that’s becauae he’s not gonna pick his great niece over his brother because the mother isn’t invited and he isn’t gonna day not going or going and then look bad. He will make a excuse on why like an hour before the party starts. I’m nervous they are just saying that the 4 of them will come to the wedding and then just not end up showing up and that is almost $400 because it’s about 97$ per person after tax and everything. That’s a lot of money to just waste on somehow who will probably say they are coming and won’t show up and if I do say I don’t want them there because of this kinda drama then they will make sure to go to hell and back to make things hard for us even if that means then showing up and having to be forcibly removed from our home because if his mom and sis show up talking the big talk about how I said his brother can’t come to the wedding , she won’t leave if told to because they think the cops will take their side except it’s my property... I really don’t know what to do. Either way they are doing everything they can do throw drama around including going to my FH job and saying stuff to his CO workers about how my FH “hates” ten for no good reason

    Yes, Given the only reason we started talking to his brother when we moved out their moms is because his mom hunted our address down and came here. His brother didn’t live in the house when all this was going on at their moms. He’s a huge mamas boy and the family is doing what they can to try to hurt us like changing the baby’s 2nd birthday to the same day as my engagement party once they found out what day it was and that’s because they know my FH will pick everyone else in the family before my FH so he may text us and say yeah we will be at the engagement party but I’m positive he won’t come and although our wedding is next October, I fully believe that they will say they are coming and be a no show because they know it would financially hurt us and because no one else in the family is invited, they are already trying to start drama. Like my FH niece went into his job where he cooks and asked the workers their when getting food if they knew my FH and how he hates her for no reason... he doesn’t hate her but people don’t enjoy games and drama and if it’s too harmful to them then people cut people out. We expect to have a lot more to deal with before the wedding but in the end I don’t wanna be paying for 4 no shows when there’s behaviors already indicating that you’re gonna create drama!

    Beyond toxic. They hardly had anything to say once we cut contact and once we became engaged they started all this drama and games again! The only reason is because they can make drama out of a situation like this because when things become so toxic you have to cut off parents or siblings, many people don’t understand and many people are appalled by a mother especially, not being invited to such a major event but it hasn’t been this way forever. The Only reason he even tolerated his family when I met him was because he needed a roof over his head. I moved in with him and after 3 years I was like omg you were not kidding me at all. It ended with a police report that didn’t go the way his mother expected and we moved into our own place and for 3 years now everything was peaceful until we got engaged and of course because his brother moved out long ago, he doesn’t have issues with his brother but as see, whenever we try, there’s always drama in some way or another. Like his mom thinks he’s gonna change his mind and she hasn’t offered a penny towards the wedding yet she got a new dog and she has ten 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. I feel awful because my FH was adopted from South Korea when he was 1. The marriage was failing and she adopted my FH because she tied her tubes and a year later his “dad” already had moved out with the women he was cheating on his mom with and didn’t even leave any money or help. Needless to say, you can imagine the backlash from being such a “burden” 3 kids... single parent.. no money... I’m beyond blessed he’s here! But he didn’t ask her to bring him into home. She could have stuck with 2 kids if things were that bad instead of adopting one hoping it’ll save your marriage and then resenting that child!

    Extend the invite. Don't ask if he's going - if he RSVPs then reserve him and his family spots. If he doesn't, then don't. It's not your fault if they don't RSVP. Unfortunately one of the down sides of having a wedding IS paying for people who don't show up. It will probably happen to everyone having a wedding. If you can't afford to pay for someone if they don't show up then don't invite them.
