I just kind of want a place to vent, and here seems to be the only place.
1. My mother kicked me out of the house during highschool, and left me to fend for myself.
2. When I was living with her, if I back talked she would throw me into mental hospitals. And when she physcially hit me and I would try to get away, she'd have me arrested for domestic battery.
3. Every since I was in 4th grade she has non stop emotionally abused me.
4. Now that she heard I am getting married, she somehow wants to be a part of this.
All when I was little my mom basically made me think that if someone gives you money, they love you. If not, then they don't. I can't recall how many times she called me a b&%$&, a s&%*, etcetcetc. And when I look back now that I am older, even I don't see what I did wrong. I was always the black sheep with my mother. And it didn't help that she has a gambling addiction, a narcotic addiction, and she's extremely bipolar. My brother is also bipolar, and I believe that is why they get along.
Now that my mom knows I am getting married, she wants to be a part of everything. And I understand she is the only mother I will ever have. I don't need to hear that. For some reason I can't forgive her,e specially because never once has she said sorry.
My dress was picked out without her, so were my bridesmaid dresses. The venue was piked without her, the invitations. Everyhting. (and no, she isn't contributing financially to the wedding.)
My brother has told me that if I don't call her when she says to, she won't come to my wedding. And on top of it (this is the last straw for me) she is wearing a bright gold pleather dress to my wedding.
From ehre on out I REALLY dont want her involved at all. I just give up!
