SOOOOOOO.... My family is totally against the fact that I'm marrying a woman, as I've previously mentioned here.... But my mom is so totally emotional about it all. The thing is that she's treating my friends (some of them are like her kids because we've been close for so long) like absolute SH*T! She is rude to them in public or will barely speak to them. It is rather sad.
I've been engaged since December of 09 and my mother hasn't ONCE asked about any of my wedding plans. I told her that we were officially engaged, she cried. I told her the official date, she cried and yelled. So I began to pull away. I was advised not to "overload" her with wedding details so I didn't! She was upset when I went home for Christmas because I never officially showed her my ring. I told her that her reactions to EVERYTHING were soooo severe that I didn't think she even wanted to see it! Anyway, I got my dress and asked her if she would like to see it. She responded "if you want to show me but I'm very sad that you are choosing this road and I still cry every day."
It's just so hard for me bc my mother and I were BEST FRIENDS!!!! She was also close with my FI (before she found out we were dating), but I am SO happy! I know that I'm not making a mistake but it's soooo hard to plan the biggest day of my life when I am forced to pretty much not speak to or hear from my family! I feel like they are all turning against me because of how she's taking it!
I thought it'd get easier, but it isn't
