Does anyone have a insane grandma???

I am about to go insane. My grandma is 79 years old, about to be 80 next month. She is driving me crazy and put my self esteem all the way down.

I am about to go insane. My grandma is 79 years old, about to be 80 next month. She is driving me crazy and put my self esteem all the way down. Every single day, she would tell me and my mom bad things about my wedding. Yesterday she told my mom that we will not get married. Mom told her that I got my wedding ring already. Grandma was like oh that is because her fiance didn't buy it. First of all, he is in deployment and second of all he ordered it online for me. Two weeks ago, she told me that she can't wait to have FS see who I truly am so he will dump me. All of this makes me want to cry because I never thought I was worthy to be loved because of her, so that why I was surprised that I got engaged. I am a very confident person but with her, wow she can bring it down all the way down...I don't want to invite her but I have to since grandpa is marrying us at their church. I want her to stop but she don't listen. What should I do? It is so hurtful.

    Lauren you are right, I am going to tell my mom to not tell her mom wedding details and I emailed grandpa to try one more time to take some sense in her. She better be on her best behavior on my wedding day, but I will ignore her since I will be too busy with my FS and family.

    That reminds me, I need to try on the wedding dress and take pictures to put online next week or so. Smiley smile

    It is funny because I always ignore her all of my life, but lately it bothered me that why I was like okay why am I getting hurt from this??

    You guys are awesome!

    It's kind of hard when there are other people involved. If your grandfather doesn't so something about the way she treats you, I would advise you to change your location and find some one else to marry you. You shouldn't have to endure that kind of abuse on the most important day of your life. Being "handicapped" does not make you any less of a person. We all are "handicapped" in some form. Ignore her and continue to go ahead with your wedding plans. All that matter is that your FH loves you.

    While I agree you should have to endure the abuse try to remember where he might be coming from. a person never really just shows there "ugly" side to one person and more than likely you grandfather being married to her for so long knows exactly what your dealing with. but by jumping in the middle could make it worse I dunno just a thought. I've learned sometimes older people make decisions that we can't understand the truely just comes from a place of "life expirence" have you tried solicating your mom to the cause maybe she can talk to her

    I am so sorry that you have to deal with that. My grandmother used to critize everything about me until I actually got into a serious relationship. It wasn't until then that she started treating me with respect. Has your mother ever tried talking to her about it? She may just see you as "child" still and not take you seriously.

    Both my mother and grandmother are just like your grandmother. Honestly, people like that just don't change and the best thing to do is to ignore them, or laugh at their idiocy. I have to invite my mother because I want my youngest siblings to be there, but my ENTIRE wedding party is under strict instructions to not let her within ten feet of me on my wedding day. She'll probably throw some sort of fit, but as long as I don't have to put up with it, I'm fine. Don't worry, you are so not alone with the crazy/evil relatives, and if you have to have her there so that you can have your grandfather, who you obviously love very much, then try to ensure that she can't make you miserable on YOUR day.
