My wedding is 8 months away. And the only thing I am worried about is my mother creating a scene, or being mean/rude to my dad and his wife. My parents are divorced, have been for 20 years or so. As my sister and I are adults now, the only time they have had to been in the same company is at our high school and collegiate graduations - at which my mother either caused a scene or was just straight up nasty to my dad/step mom. It always made me upset, and then I could not enjoy the day. We should be celebrating my (or my sister's) accomplishment, and she always turns into something about her, somehow putting the spotlight on her. I have done my best as an adult to play devil's advocate, but I can not even tell her when I visit with my dad/step mom becuase she gets jealous, upset. So, I am worried (and my sister who is MOH) that she will cause a scene on the day that should about my future husband and me. A day of happiness and joy, but I can't count on her putting her childish attitude aside for one day, or one weekend. She has already started with drama between my sister and I (she is upset that my dad is walking me down the aisle, and that I will have a first dance with him - and she is upset that my step mom will be there). Has anyone else out there had mothers that act more like spoiled children? And how do you deal with their tantrums in public situations? How do you keep a person like this under wraps doing a day that should be fun and filled with love and happiness for a new beginning? I could write a book with examples of the drama of my mother...but I think this post is already long enough. Additionally, my dad has already expressed to me that he is worried about how my mother will act on that day.
