Dedicated August 2019

Heartbroken. Please send prayers.

Kendall, on August 21, 2019 at 1:18 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 9

I need prayers and pixie dust. My wedding is in 8 days. I’m breaking. I should be happy and excited but my heart is so heavy. I had a long sob post typed up but deleted it bc it was extremely long and detailed. Basically my family hates my fiancé and hasn’t even given him a chance. In two years my dads refused to even speak to him. My ex husband (abuser of 6 years mental and physical) has started a bunch of crap and taken my kids away that we’re supposed to be in my wedding and until we go back to court I can’t see them or speak to them. My family is on his side. Everything I do is a disappointment. My fiancé is the only support I have. He has been by my side through everything and he is the best thing (other than my kids) to ever happen to me. I have done so much to get myself in a better place and move on with my life and everything I do isn’t good enough. My son was supposed to walk me down the aisle. And my parents declined coming to the wedding. Not that I’m surprised but a part of me hoped they’d show bc I miss having a family. My future in laws are wonderful and treat me so well but i still wanted the family I grew up loving to be there. And the declined rsvp just kinda kicked me when I was already down. I’m on the verge of tears. I’m so scared that next Thursday when I wake up I’ll be in tears. I’m dreading my wedding. Im afraid I’ll be wearing a fake smile in my 1600 dollar photos. I’m not gonna be the princess I always hoped to be. I’m just too broken. 😔 I can’t cancel. I’ve spent thousands and guests have made arrangements. And I don’t want to. I want to be married to this man. I want him to be my husband. But I’m just not ok. Please send pixie dust and prayers. Because I am hurting. I am breaking and depressed. The past year I have been so excited and now that it’s here I just want to lay down and cry.

    So sorry you’re going through all of this. This should be such a happy time for you and it’s sad your family can’t see that. I’ve had similar issues and my sister recently told me she and her family aren’t going to my wedding. My fiancé is supportive and made me see it’ll be their loss. The day is about you and your fiancé. Just try to focus on your fiancé and all the people who are there on your day to show support. Again sorry you have to go through all that.

    Sending you lots of prayers and angels by your side. Remember you are marrying the Man you love not your family. It’s heart breaking if they don’t show or not supportive and that’s there loss. If your children won’t be there but who says you can do it again like a mock wedding. Just keep your family separate. When you visit don’t bring him don’t bring him up just talk about other things.

    One thing don’t ever think you are a disappointment.

    When you look your FH in the eyes and say I do it will be tears of joy.

    Sending you love and prayers baby doll. Sometimes you have to roll with the ones who are still there. With that being said, push all of the negativity to the side and marry your man with his family and the supporting guests there. It’ll be hard to do, but you have to do what’s best for you. Hope everything works out!

    I don’t understand how your ex can keep your children away from you, unless there is a court order stating so. If there isn’t, you have the right to file a complaint with the police department. Otherwise, depending on the state you can contact the family court and try and get the court date moved up by telling them your situation. It sucks that you’re going through this. I imagine there’s a bit of back story that brought you to this point, and I hope it all sorts itself out.

    I’m so sorry hun, it sounds like your family is still stuck on your ex and won’t accept another man. It doesn’t matter what they want, it’s about what you want. Even if your ex was a saint they have no right to treat you this way. I’m going to guess your ex has turned your unfortunate naive family against you, that’s what abusers do. He’s scum.
    I agree with Jeanie.

    He opened a cps claim against my fiancé and a police report saying my fiancé molested my little girl when I left them alone together. They have literally never been alone together. We cooperated with the authorities and let them do their job. They interviewed my son who is always with my daughter and he straight up denied everything saying it wasn’t true. They found nothing and dropped the case because he’s innocent. But he still refuses to let them come home and is taking me back to court. Until we go back to court they can’t come home. I can’t move the date up bc it’s non existent as of now and I have to be able to pay a retainer for a lawyer, I have a grand worth of final payments Monday and have no idea how I’m going to pay them for the wedding bc I’ve put so much to the side to hire a lawyer.

    This is horrible- I am sad for you.

    Maybe you can just send your parents a note saying you will miss them at the wedding and if they change their minds in the meantime they are always welcome to attend?

    Praying for you hun...I hope everything works out with your babies. I know it sucks that your blood family won't be there, but try to make the most of the family that will be there for you and loves you enough to support you. I cannot imaging the hurt that you are experiencing.

    BIG HUGS
