This weekend(Saturday) we celebrated MIL's wedding. She invited the BM since she wanted her to perform a praise dance. In the back of my head, I'm thinking, "This is going to be interesting since we've never met nor spoken to each other except via FB." (My DH and I have been together for a year and a half; married for 2 months). We are introduced and do not say anything to each other after that. At the wedding, she freaks out over some hearsay about the bride. She freaks out, her daughter's feet hurt;they both are there crying right before my MIL is about to walk down the isle. WTH? At the reception, SS15 and BIL were play fighting; the next thing you know, BIL gets hit in the face. He goes off on the SS. Guys are guys and things were squashed- good right? NOT! BM hears of this and goes off on BIL for yelling at "her baby." She drags SS to Dh and makes him tell his father what happened- in a room full of wedding guests, while BM is yelling at him. SS is crying (15 yrs. old). DH spends most of the reception trying to calm SS down. Since there was no time during the reception to perform the praise dance(I wonder why) the dance was performed at home. the entire time up to the performance, BM was complaining about her arm(dialysis patient) She is constantly needing and craving attention. She comments how much it hurts and is swollen twice the size that it normally is; she refuses to go the emergency room or take any meds. I continuously have to walk away because I promised DH that I would not say anything out of the way for the sake of relationship with SS and SD. On Father's Day(Sunday), I spend time with my gfather and uncle; I let DH and kids spend the day together. She invites herself to SS and SD's date with their father! When I come back, I give DH his gift- a necklace. Her entire demeanor changes from laughing and cutting jokes to sitting like a zombie. SS takes wedding pics out of my purse and everyone gathers around me and looks at the pics, except her. I did not want anyone to see the pics until after she left because I know that she is still in love with DH. It is blatantly obvious. She looks at the pics.10 mins later she complains about her arm(for the millionth time) and announces that she's leaving. She gives MIL a hug and begins crying!!! WTH?! Everyone's looking at her ina confused state because she was fine just a min. ago. After she leaves, MIL says to DH that that was just an act. The family knows how over-dramatic she is. Yesterday (Monday) BM and SD come over to gmother's house. BM complains about her arm yet again. I leave because I am tired of hearing about her arm. I am wondering why she is not going to the emergency room or taking anything for the inflammation. They stay for almost 3 hours until she says that she needs to go home(she lives in GA; we are in SC) so that she can see her doctor about her arm. (it's about 3 o'clock in the afternoon). Idk too much about doctors hours but I am pretty sure that when she got to GA, her doctor would be closed. BM calls when SD and she get home. DH asks about her arm. She does not go to the doctor; she does not take any meds; she does go the emergency room. WTH?! I'm in the background not trying to tell her how I feel. This summer is going to be interesting because we have the SS. I am trying to keep the drama to a minimal. I have no idea what I have gotten myself into.
