Story number 1 & 2- Bachelorette Party
So if any of you are confused, read my last blog. I've had a busy month so I'm splitting the stories up in blogs!
So the month before my wedding was just about awful. I had to deal with BM texting DH every day telling him how horrible he was and how he shouldn't marry me. This was so irritating but I got thru it. Then she would be mean to me. Yall have to understand I am really nice and don't take up for myself so she can say whatever to me and I never fight back. I don't want to make it worse. So I cater to her and SD to keep the peace.
So the weekend before the wedding, DH had SD but it was BM's bday. So of course he let her go stay with BM on Friday. He ended up not being able to get her until Saturday afternoon because BM said she was taking SD to a cheerleading competition but didn't.
So Saturday night was my bachelorette party. Me and ten girls went to a city almost 2 hours away for it. Well all was going great. They had me in the most ridiculous outfit and we were having a ball. We had gone to a piano bar and I had just gotten a song sung to me on stage. I was so embarrassed. I'm very self conscious. So right after the song, all the girls are standing around and BM walks up!! Oh my gosh, she doesn't even go out to bars and she was in the same town, same bar as me. Then she hugged me! Said how she saw me up there and everything. Then we made small talk about SD and stuff. Hugs me again and walks off. So I'm shaking, I dont know what to think.
Well then I get a text from my DH telling me to be careful, BM is watching my every move. He didnt care, he trusts me and knows I would never to do anything wrong. Well then she calls me saying how she has pictures of me doing horrible slutty things and he should not marry me! Oh I was livid. I am not a slut, flirt, etc. I wasn't even dressed bad.
So the next day I found out that the so called pictures are of the piano guy grabbing my butt on stage. Granted I didn't like my butt being grabbed, but it wasn't my fault. Seriously that's just dumb. So BM gets mad when I defend myself and says she refuses for SD to come to the wedding. Thus proving what everyone has said all along that she lets her feelings get in the way. She tells me that I cheated on DH because I allowed that guy to grab my butt. That I should have hit him. I mean really yall, this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard!!

I'm sorry this occurred and
I'm sorry this occurred and put such stress on you during your wedding. It's a sign of things to come and the best advice I can offer is to not let her affect you...or at least, don't let her know you're affected by her. Treat her as a non-entity and disengage from her. If she attempts to engage with you and you don't reciprocate then she's left arguing with herself.
It's not her position to make you justify your actions to her. Try to learn how to not give her power over you. She's the mother of your SD, not you. You're a grown woman, in a marriage, and your DH is the only one you are accountable to.
Let your DH interact with her for now. I'm sure he'll understand. The only thing they need to talk about is their mutual child(ren). If he doesn't already, encourage him to disengage from her as much as possible also. Only talk/text when an issue about the child arises. Other than that, ignore her.
Because stupid is, as stupid does. She may have the market cornered on stupid.
I try to not talk to her
but she is so mean when we do. I dont want to fight with her. I dont want any stress on SD at all. I want everyone including her to be happy!
Thank you for your advice! Always appreciated!
We ALL have wanted everyone
We ALL have wanted everyone to be happy, but happiness is a by-product of what we do and so it's out of our control for other's happiness b/c we have no control over what people do.
You can be kind, but firm. You can be polite, but honest. Just don't get confused that being kind and polite does not equate to doormat. Empower yourself to say, "what the f**k..." sometimes, turn away and ignore her when she gets mean. Mean people suck.
