Well, friends. I'm just feeling a bit broken hearted tonight. I don't really have any family to love, support, and celebrate our upcoming marriage. My family will be at the wedding (only because they feel obligated) But they'll be very cold and awkward toward me. I have a poor relationship with my mother as well as my father and his step family. The details aren't really important but they're not great people and I pretty much raised myself. I'm feeling so jealous of all the girls who are bffs with their moms and have dads proudly walking them down the aisle. I've tried to talk about some details with my mom like possible venues and dresses I like and have only gotten short, curt responses. My dad is going to walk me, but he doesn't care much for me so it's going to be pretty uncomfortable. There will be no speeches, no loving words, no joyful hugs. I don't know, guys. I'm sad. I'm just very sad. My only grandmother, whom I was extremely close to and I know would be so delighted for me and would be over the moon about my wonderful fiancé passed away a year ago.
On the other hand, I'm extremely excited to become part of my fiancé's enormous happy family. They have welcomed me with smiles and open arms since day one and are exactly the family I've always wanted to be a part of. This is what I'm trying to focus on, but it still pains me SO deeply that my relationship with my family is what it is.
I'm sorry for ranting. My heart hurts tonight. I just wanted to get it out.
