Hi May Knotties. I just received news one of my best friends and bridesmaids is preggers. She is 3 months so will be 8 months by the time of the wedding. She waited to tell me because she thought I would be upset. That hurt my feelers that she thought I would be a bridezilla over such a thing. I could care less about my wedding when it comes to this. But I am upset that she is pregnant because her husband is physically and emotionally abusive. He is an alcoholic and a pothead and she has been in torment for 4 years. She has tried to leave him, but she just can't bring herself to. I have always listened to her crying and given as much advice as she can take, but she won't leave. He has likely cheated on her too, but she can't prove it and he won't admit it. I have flown out of bed at2 am once to rush to her aid after he punched through the car window trying to get her as she was running away during one of his drunken episodes. She told me if she ever turns up dead or missing that I am to testify against him and told me where she keeps her diaries. I have done all I can.
I asked her if she was happy about it and she said she was although she had a tear in her eye when she said it. I congratulated her and asked if she would be uncomfortable being in the wedding and she could bow out if she wanted to, but I said it is really important to me that she is in it and I very much want her to be. She said of course she would still be in it.
Her last baby was 2 weeks early, so I hope she is able to be there. I would be so sad if she couldn't. I feel bad she has to buy a new dress, but they are well off so its not a big deal to her.
I don't have any questions, just needed to get it off my chest.
