Family Feuds

Not so much with others, but I am struggling to get along with my mother & brother who like to tag team me lol.

Yes. My parents divorced after 26 years last year and my dad and mom now have new SO. My brothers are young and haven't taken to this quite well so with all that stress it's just making everyone fight and not talk to each other much. My middle brother even told me he isn't going to my wedding. Hurts me but I can't deal with all the fighting and drama. I'm to the point if they are going to be this way none are coming.

Yes! My parents got divorced over ten years ago and about eight years ago it turned very ugly when my mother moved on. My father could not get over it and they do not even speak. My mom's dad (my grandfather) passed away last year and my father decided to still go to the wake and funeral. He completely skipped over giving condolences to my mother but did for her mom and siblings. I'm so nervous that they're going to cause a scene, I know my mom would never start anything but my dad is a firecracker and doesn't care what the occasion is. If he's mad, he's mad and he'll let everyone know it. I'm planning on having a conversation with them, even though it has to be separately to say this is my big day. I'm also planning on having conversations with both of their best friends who are invited so they know if anything happens, I am NOT to know about it. My wedding coordinator is also aware of the situation and said she would definitely step in if she needed to.

My suggestion, make your voice known. This day should be a happy occasion not just for you but for them as well. Designate a person for every "concerning" guest and let them know of the situation to hopefully nip it in the bud.
