Just Said Yes May 2025

My wedding is next week and I’m miserable

Melanie, on May 20, 2025 at 7:52 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 2
I’m getting married next Saturday, but my mother and brother are making me miserable.
Long story:
My brother is a waste and very manipulative. Everything wrong with my bro my mom says about my fiancée (my bro doesn’t work, abuses drugs). My brother even went and contacted my friend/coworker about how awful I am. He easily called me the c word about 5x. When I said something to my mom about it she said "well you and her shouldn't have been talking badly about us". This past weekend my mom wouldn't stop saying how awful I am, how ashamed she is of me, how I'm a heartless bi@!h and I owe her an apology. Yesterday I was having a session with my therapist in my car and my brother starts texting me all this nasty stuff. He then said he hopes my fiancée commits suicide like his father. My mom threatened to go to the priest and tell him how awful I am. Now my brother is contacting family members. I’m so embarrassed and miserable.
Thanks for letting me vent. I’m sorry this was such a long post

    Text your abusive mother and brother that they are no longer invited to your wedding, and block their number. No contact. Don't worry what others hear from them because they sure know how terrible they are already. The priest will not listen to your mother because gossip and hatefulness is not holiness. You can even schedule time with your priest through the sacrament of reconciliation before your wedding. Call and ask and find peace and clarity. You deserve this. You deserve to marry someone who loves you and who you love in return. Those other people can kick rocks.

    Hi Melanie I am so sorry to hear this. I’m praying for you and your family, while I don’t know the whole story I want to say to focus on getting married and your beautiful day and I pray that this heavy burden is lifted off of you in the name of Jesus & that anything that is said or negative you are able to brush off like a grain of sand. Your marriage is the priority and may nothing break it down ❤️
