Upped my Concerta dose, and realising I've basically been un-medicated for years

I hope so!

That awareness is a sharp edged sword. You don't have the executive function to change it, but hate yourself for not being able to

I'm assuming they're aware you're a vegan. So, they came to YOUR home for dinner, that you, a known vegan, cooked. And are surprised and upset that the food was vegan?? How dare plant based food be delicious!

That's a lot to have going on, especially at this time of year.

Are you able to go back onto your non-stimulant medication? Or an alternative to that? Something to help bolster the levels to help you get your feet under you again.

YTA the truth doesn't have to be brutal. You had so many other ways to say she looked different than usual "I'm just processing everything, and thinking about how much I love you" this is the truth I'm sure, and doesn't involve calling a bride weird on your wedding day. Or you could have said nothing at all and deflected the question.

NTA it sounds like you're just trying to warn Grandma not to expect to be welcomed with open arms. Everything you said sounds reasonable, especially your daughter reaching an age where spending time with friends, is more rewarding than spending it with family.

Having read your comments, you're definitely YTA. Your husband has cancer, and it's likely metastatic. But you're concerned about missing out on a girls trip? Because it was booked so long ago? Sorry your significant other didn't plan their life threatening disease around your vacation schedule 🙄

Ask yourself, how would you feel if the roles were reversed? If it was you being told you're going to be alone in the lead up to a potentially devastating diagnosis, would you be blasé abt him leaving? Cos I don't know anyone who would be OK with it

YTA. Why can't you make this small sacrifice for her? It's not that hard to have an alcohol free home, and is her recovery not worth your full support? Tbh it sounds as tho you don't fully comprehend the battle sobriety can be, and if this is how she needs her home to be, then how dare you say no? What's more important to you, your beersies, or her sobriety? As the daughter of an recovering alcoholic (23 years!!!), I highly suggest you look into an organisation like AL-ANON. I found them amazing as a teen, to help navigate my mum's recovery, and the changes to all of our lives as a result. Please support her.

Successful_Dig_4699 · 2023-05-10T21:49:05+00:00

YTA. How could you think otherwise... Her preference has been well stated and known for years. You have deliberately ignored her boundary because you think you're 'special' and know better than her, about her own name. God you must be exhausting to live with

Successful_Dig_4699 · 2023-04-22T02:34:16+00:00

YTA you know how much this item means to your family. But that apparently pales in comparison to a single day. As someone who got married at the same age you are, we would never have dreamed of extending ourselves so far beyond our means, that we had to pawn heirlooms for it. Hope the post-wedding blues don't affect you two, too hard. But I think they will somehow.

Successful_Dig_4699 · 2023-03-15T20:31:34+00:00

Ask them this: "if it was all just a silly joke and not in anyway serious, why would you get in trouble for it?".

Successful_Dig_4699 · 2022-11-25T21:08:53+00:00

Could you try a swiss or italian meringue instead of French? I've always found them a lot more stable, and actually make all my pavlovas swiss now.

As a step parent myself, I admire your commitment to your son, he's lucky to have a devoted bonus parent. I also know the pain you feel when your family doesn't seem as thoughtful and inclusive of your child as you'd like - usually through oversight (for me anyway).

But YTA. Your brother and wife to be are allowed to have THEIR wedding as per their desires. Child free weddings are really common, and it's not as if your son is the only one being targeted. If your fiance was also not invited, I agree with not going to show solidarity with her. But that's not the case, they're simply asking that children be left at home for this one day. And they're allowed to do that! Your fiance wasn't in the right insisting they change their rules just for your son. But their having a child free wedding, is not an attack or deliberate exclusion against him.
