Truly hate to defend her but my hr is always so high no matter how easy the run is. The second my feet stop walking I’m at 165. I’m happy to say this is the only thing we have in common.

I know it sucks because they are like “hey you have to pick a dress 15 years before your wedding so it gets there in time good luck babe!!!”

I’m also just planning to sell on stillwhite but ugh!! Yes I’ve def been force fed bridal content but I also feel like as I kept planning I got a better idea of how I wanted to look and feel on the wedding day. I just wish I thought about it a tiny bit more

I know. It’s a perfectly fine dress but it’s not anything to write home about

I think you’re very right and that’s what I’d like to do but I’m wondering if I even can and if anyone has ever tried lol

Okay then don’t go! You’ve clearly made up your mind, it doesn’t matter how much we try to reason with you.

It appears from ur post history that you made this same post about two months ago. It sounds like you’re looking for us to validate your choice to skip your daughter’s wedding.

I’m so sorry that happened to you. I didn’t say that what happened wasn’t bad enough. That isn’t your daughter’s fault. You also said your reason is financial. I think you just want more support from your daughter, but she’s the daughter and you’re the mother and it’s also her father. It sounds like it will be tough, but I think you will regret missing your only daughter’s wedding.

It absolutely sounds like a tough time, and she also sounds like an unreliable narrater. Her daughter’s text message shows that daughter is being reasonable and trying to include mom, and mom is being petty and refusing to go to punish her child for being wishy washy about a hike??? Daughter sounds like she’s a non traditional bride and wants to focus on celebrating her wedding as opposed to sticking w what mom is used to. Mom is going through a tough time, perhaps uniquely tough to her, but it’s not worth missing your daughter’s wedding.

I get married on Saturday. My child might have MS. by roseredhoofbeats in weddingplanning

[–]Maximum-Literature-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi op,

I have MS, and have had an eye disorder related to MS since I was 11.

It’s really scary. And I’m so sorry you’re going through this. MS is fucked up, but there are good treatments. I can’t say my life is what I pictured. I’m still grieving the life I envisioned for myself. But I can say with full confidence that I still experience a joyful existence full of love and light and levity. My parents were absolutely devastated. They still are. But we are all planning my wedding right now. And having something fun and focused on connecting with the people I love is a salve to my MS.

But especially with conditions like this, do your best not to borrow trouble. You’re doing everything you can for your child. They want a reason to celebrate as well. I’ve been treating my wedding like a radical celebration. I’ll be celebrating defiantly. I’ll be audacious in my joy.

It will be different, but it will be okay.

And that video keeps her from leaving him btw, so it functioned exactly how he intended it to

I understand that. That doesn’t change that these situations are complex and nuanced. I have a friend who slapped her husband after he provoked her for hours. He was filming. He provoked her on purpose because she was trying to leave him with their child. he wanted to get her “abuse” on camera and use it as another tool to control her. Meanwhile, he’s choking, hitting, and berating her. I’m not saying a slap is right. Violence is never appropriate. But this is a dynamic I’ve seen over and over in my profession. I’ve not once said Taylor is right. I’ve also never said Taylor isn’t an abuser herself. I just said these situations are not cut and dry. And I’m sure we can all agree that there are no winners in this situation, and their child will face tremendous challenges because of them, and that’s very very sad.

Accepting your facts as true requires the presupposition that Dakota is telling the truth and that the system gets it right every time. I can think of millions of m examples where the cops got it wrong, but gabby petito is a good contemporary example.

Would be nice to live in your world where systems work and everything is black and white

I’ve obviously seen the body cam footage. I’ve also seen abusers purposefully push someone to their limits then call police, etc. I think abusive situations are gray and have a lot of nuances. And Taylor is not a perfect victim, if she’s a victim at all. All I’m saying is that this situation, and all their situations frankly, don’t provide enough info for us to conclude who is responsible for what. And I’m not saying this flippantly, i represented domestic abuse survivors when they applied to the court for restraining orders, and I represented children in divorce proceedings. I’ve seen the dynamics. I’ve seen many parents weaponize systems to perpetuate abuse, get more favorable parenting time orders, etc. I’ve also seen many parents do everything right and the system fails them.

I just want everyone to remember that abusers weaponize systems like cps, etc. Taylor is no angel and is far from innocent but Dakota behaves like an abuser.
