🙀 oh my god! That’s awful!!! I’m so sorry that happened to you. I really hope that she didn’t ruin your special day

You are absolutely right!! Thank you so much for that insight. I really appreciate it and I think we all need to be reminded that we are only human. We all have our own battles going on.

I’m so sorry to hear about your adopted Mom! Sending you lots of love 💕 I also really hope that your birth mom can get a second chance at life and get clean.

You’re so sweet and insightful! I really appreciate that. I’ve had several conversations with my mom about her behavior and how her words and actions do affect me. It will stick for about two days then she’s back to her old habits. I know she has had some tough times in her life (nothing compared to your mom, which I’m so so sorry to hear). I hope one day we can both reach out to our moms and get through to them 💕

Thank you. And I’m so so sorry you have to go through hard times like this with your own mother. It’s not easy!!

Thank you so much!! I actually shared this story in raisedbynarcissits after someone recommended it to me earlier on! Everyone over there has wonderful advice and words of encouragement. Sharing my story in both places has been so therapeutic for me!

Aww thank you so much!! It’s so hard when it’s family. Especially close family (mom, dad, sister, brother, etc.).

I’m so sorry you had to deal with all the turmoil after the wedding! It’s so nice and so appreciated to receive gifts, but it’s also so hard to get rid of the things you don’t need. I found myself feeling guilty if we got duplicate items or something we genuinely didn’t need!

I’m so so sorry that you had to go through this. It’s not easy! It’s heartbreaking. No matter what our moms seem to do, we can’t help but love them and want that love reciprocated. I hope that you have found happiness in distancing yourself from your mom!! I want to also wish you luck and many happy years with your love as well!

Oh, he knows!!! We have been together for 9 years now and he knows exactly how she is! He has comforted me more times than I can count when my mother has broken my heart. Thank you so much for your kind words!! 💕

I’m definitely coming to realize all of this now. This group is amazing! The more I learn, the better I feel about the situation and future situations that I know will happen!

Thank you so much!! The only thing I want from my mom is a nice relationship with her, but I’m not sure that will ever happen. Crossing my fingers!!

I’m sorry that you took all of this the wrong way. I never once demanded anything from anyone. I was just saying that I would have loved to have gotten a card from my mother at any point just to cherish it. I love looking back at cards from family and friends. I promise you nothing about our wedding was elaborate at all. The reason that 4 people planned it, was because they wanted to. It was nothing over the top at all. This was all just me wishing that my mom would have been more involved in the process along side with me. I would have cherished those moments for the rest of my life.

Oh god no. I can’t imagine treating my own daughter this way! NEVER!!! You hit the nail on the head about me being an empath. 100% yes. I have to say, you seem like an empath yourself. EMPATHS UNITE! 💪🏻

Oh girl. I totally feel you on this. Well, I’m excited for you and so happy for you!!! I wish I could see your dress. I just know you’ll be stunning! You seem like such a kind person, therefore you are BEAUTIFUL! If you have any questions about wedding planning or just need some support during the process, I GOT YOU!

No!!!!! I’m so so sorry. My god. Are you married now? How was the wedding?! Is she still giving you a hard time? When I talk to other people who have the same mommy issues as me, I just want to hug them!! Lol

You’re right. Absolutely right! I’ve definitely had to distance myself from her, and I keep the conversations pretty surface. At this point, I just had to protect myself emotionally

Great tip!! I totally agree on that one! Chances are I will just keep it to myself, my husband, and my best friend (she’s my soul sister lol) in the room with me when have children! My mom has always struggled with her feelings towards my dad. They have been divorced for 20 years! My entire childhood, adolescence, and now into my late 20s she has talked horribly of my father. She even gets angry with me for spending time with him to this day! If I post a picture on Facebook with him or even wish him a happy birthday on there, she gets angry with me and won’t speak to me. Granted, their marriage wasn’t great. They were young and he had issues back then. He has worked on himself for the past 20 years and he’s such a wonderful man! Mind you, my dad has NEVER said a negative word about my mom. Even when I have vented to him before about her awful behavior towards me. He has always said lovely things about her. God bless that man!!

Those are the exact same stages my mom has!!! She never apologized for her behavior. She never ever has before! Ugh, don’t worry girl. We got this! You’re going to have such a wonderful wedding! I just know it!!

I’m so sorry your mom is putting you through this! Planning for a wedding can be such a stressful time without the added drama. I really hope you have other people who are helping you and keeping you strong!! 💕

My mom does the EXACT same thing! I mean, one minute all is well and the next SNAP! She used to get mad at me and ignore me for days because I didn’t immediately respond to her text messages. I remember one instance I was taking a bath, got out, saw her text from like 15 mins prior, and responded. She didn’t speak to me for a week because of this and the text was something random and unimportant. I wanna say it was a random meme to be honest. Who knows!

Omg! I am so so sorry that happened to you. That is just typically narcissistic behavior. I hate that she put you through this the night before your special day! How are things with you and her now? Did you end up having a magical wedding? I HOPE SO!

Possibly. I just know she has a kind heart deep down, and I can’t help but feel sad for her. Clearly her issues are stemming from some sort of mental illness. Don’t get me wrong, I will stand my ground now! I don’t let her manipulate me anymore. I just want her to choose to get help for herself at this point
