The worst family drama ever!!!

Alyssa, on July 16, 2019 at 8:11 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 13
So this is like super long & mostly like a vent sorry I'm just so over my wedding now I'm hurt & at this point I just feel like eloping.
So just some fyi my "dad" & "mom" have never really been in my life at the age of 1 they left me at my grandmas house & never came back for a long time so i never really had a relationship with them
So 2 years ago I got engaged & I was so excited I asked my 3 brothers & 8 cousins to be in my wedding fast forward a couple months my "dad" has twin girls with his 25 year old wife (hes 40) so then the hot taken away for (surprise surprise) domestics violence & drugs & i didnt know until last year because I wasnt talking to him & I only found out because he got deathly sick from his oesophagus & almost died so his wife called me crying before his surgery so i put my differences aside & visited him & all that & now were talking again & hes feeling better. So after a fee weeks he tells me his daughters are eith his sister & shes on drugs & other things that basically convince me to try to get custody of them, but after a few weeks I start to catch on that they only want me to get custody because they want to come & pick up their daughters whenever they want so I stopped the process, THEN they get mad at me because they had ANOTHER child & that one got taken away because they still had an open case & I told them sorry but I cant Cate for a newborn right now (I'm planning a wedding & I'm only 20) so they stop taking to me & at this point I dont care anymore because he had never been there for me at ALL & only talks to me when he wants something. So fast forward to this past October my "mom" gets out of prison so my grandma (whom adopted me & is my bestfriend) & I take her into our home & she brings my 13 year old sister with her, well we had to throw them out 3 times & each time my grandma always let them back in, mind you my "mom" let's my sister do whatever she wants. She started having sex at 11 & now she wants to dress like a hooch & talk back to my grand which doesnt go fine with me so I ended up beating her up & they left for good & I told them I dont want anything to do with them anymore, so fast forward to last week my older brother A tells me hes not going to be in my wedding because all of a sudden he has 4 excuses but I know it's really because of my mom,(hes the closest to her) then yesterday my other brother AA told me if I dont invite my dad then hes not only pulling himself & my nephew (who is my ring bearer) out of the wedding but he will also not attend at all, & now I feel like crap because why should I please them when it's my day, am I wrong for not wanting my "parents" at my wedding because I am tired of the way they treat me, like I told my "dad", all my life I was chasing them so I can have a relationship with them but they never gave it to me but now I'm too old for this because I am getting married so they are no longer my problem or my main thought, idk I just feel like crap😔

    Wow and I thought my family drama was bad because I'm getting married too anyway I'm sorry for the fact that your family is basically trying to ruin your big day. How does your fiance feel about the situation! This is just my opinion but I think the most important part is how you and him feel and stand on the issue. Yeah it will hurt not having your two brothers being apart of your wedding but in the end the only one there hurting is themselves because I'm assuming with or without them your still going to marry the man of your dreams and that's the most important part is you and him spending your lives together and that's your guy's special day

    I am sorry to here about all that. I feel like the wedding is for family and the marriage is for you. Listen if they can’t act right leave them out. You deserve to be happy. Do what makes you happy. And remember you can’t save everyone. Neither can your grandma.

    I am sorry you are going though this. I am not sure if beating up a 13 year old was the right thing to do. She may be misbehaved but it is cause she was raised that way. Plus you much older. I would not worry if they are in your wedding or not if they are not treating you right.

    I know & yet I'm feeling bad, because I've done everything I can for them all I have lent them money bought them clothes & even paid for them to get their car out of a tow yard & they never paid me back so I'm just like why are you even thinking about doing this to me what did I do wrong?

    These people are toxic. You MUST remove yourself from the situation. ASAP. They clearly don't care, and that's not YOUR fault and guess what, there is nothing you can do. You have an opportunity to be happy and move forward in life, take it. If your grandma allows this behavior, as horrible as it is, you can't get involved. This is a happy time in your life and youre letting chaos in. I'm not blaming you, just as someone who has done A LOT of work through therapy to get through stuff similar to that, I'm imploring you to disengage and focus on you and FH.

    Thank you, I know a few months ago i told my grandma from this day forward I dont want my parents to know anything about me & I dont want a relationship with them, I forgive them for everything they've done but I dont want them in my life & she understood but my mom is her youngest daughter so shes always trying to save her & I get upset with her because my mom never acknowledges that & she thinks it's a must that we all have to do everything for her

    I'm really sorry you are dealing with all of this. I completely understand why you don't want your parents at the wedding. As for your brothers all I can say is maybe sit them down and tell them your reasons for not wanting them there and let them make the final decision. It sucks if they dont decide to support you in this but you cant hold it against them either.

    I am so sorry. I am praying for you that you can enjoy your day. It sucks what your brothers are saying but go through with your wedding, enjoy your FH and your grandmother and those that are happy for you and supporting you. You're so young and have had a lot of bad in your life already I hope that the years moving forward are filled with joy.

    You should seek therapy if you haven't already. Laying your hands on an 13 year old child is not excusable. You're an adult and you're responsible for your actions just like your parents are responsible for theirs.

    Wow!! This is horrible. I know everyone has family issues, did you ever talk to your parents about your feelings? If not, maybe consider it and see how that goes. Also, this day is about you and your hubby...You both are building a future together and sometimes your own family can cause so much negativity in your life. Sometimes is fine to love family members from a distance, as they can be toxic also.

    Also, you and hubby are in charge of the wedding planning. If people don't want to come, because of how you feel, then so be it.
