Hi everyone! Happy Sunday


Do any of you have your mom or dad's side completely absent from your wedding? I have no relationship with my mom + her entire side of the family. I try to pretend it doesn't bother me, but it really does. I'm getting married to the love of my life, and the woman that birthed me, I have no relationship with, because she is toxic and just a mess. I haven't seen her since December, 2012.She has not seen both of my daughters ever or my fiance, just to put into perspective how estranged we really are. It actually does make me quite upset, no matter how much I try to push it out of my mind. Literally we have a guest list of 33 people (not including future husband and I) and my dad will be coming for support, which is nice. As well as my sisters. But no mom, no aunts/uncles/cousins from my mom's side. Just NO ONE. How do you guys cope with this?

    We're probably going to have 50 or less at our wedding and most is my FH family and my mom's sisters and Mom as well as my own sister.

    In trying to just focus on who I have rather than who I don't but sometimes I slip and get into a funk.
