Super May 2017

Just venting... And laughing

SoonToBeMrsS., on May 22, 2018 at 6:26 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 12
Hi I used to post here when I was planning and figured this place would understand. It's been a while. So today I got a wedding invite for my sisters wedding next month. I didn't even know she was engaged seeing how she's know the guy for 2 months. Long story short, it is at my parents property, who I no longer have a relationship with after confronting them over childhood abuse. But that's another story. So needless to say she sent me an invite expecting me not to go but I'm thinking I just might. I'm pretty disappointed in her since she has 3 kids and moves guy after guy in and out of her life. Guys who treat her kids like crap. I haven't met this latest one since they just met but holy crap. Kudos to them for pulling a wedding together in less than a month I guess.

    I get that you may have a strained relationship with your family- i also have one & especially with my sister. she lives a few states away & myself & my dad have offered to cover her entire family’s flight here & provide them a place to stay. we have argued and she declined to come- i actually haven’t spoken to her since january but i still sent an invite. i get married on thursday & regardless of my family’s issues- nothing would mean more to me than seeing her here on my day. my point is, try not to sell your sister short (obvs i don’t know your whole situation but still). maybe she truly would love for you to be there. and if you do decide to go, i hope you go with an opened heart & end up having a lovely time. good luck, i know families are difficult

    Yes you may be right it's just 2.5 months ago she was living with a different guy. Now she met this guy and they are getting married next month. It's a horrible situation for her kids and everyone involved but I do hope he is a good man. But to be honest you can not know someone in a couple months of dating.

    I agree & hopefully her kids are okay- that is concerning. if nothing else you could always be there to show support for the kids & let them know you’re there. 💕

    Yikes id steer clear. I know what its like to have a messed up family. My sister is the same, 3 children she doesnt take care of that 2 of which are now screwed up because of the damage she caused, despite all our efforts to help them. And preggo for a forth time after being sober for 1 year after 7 years of drugs. Yay for family.... lol my sister is def not invited to our wedding as im sure you can guess.

    That sounds like a hot mess. I'm not sure I would go and if I went, I probably wouldn't stay past the ceremony. I agree with being there for the kids.

    The kids are the only reason I'm thinking about it. Last time I spoke to my sister she threatened a restraining order on me for trying to wish my nephew a happy birthday. I miss them and if it's a chance I get to see them in going to take it.

    I agree with Anna.. Go to the wedding... It may be difficult considering the history involved, but she is your sister.
    Maybe this is the one for her that will make things right. You wouldn't be so upset with her if you didn't love her!! ❤️
    Open heart and mind!!! ❤️ Good luck!!

    Yep, if I got an invite I would totally go!! But I am very much the type of person who will be annoyingly nice to someone if they have wronged me! That's me though! Lol

    Go and see the kids. It doesn't sound like they have any consistency in there lives and it would be good for them to know that their aunt is there for them. Plus, it might be entertaining to see what kind of wedding they throw together.

    I would totally go, even if just to see the kids. There's no law that says you have to stay for the entire reception.

    I'd go and at least make an appearance, but you absolutely don't have to stay the whole time. Sorry you're having to go through this.
