She is very narcissistic and being older and sick with an autoimmune disease, I think she was frantic trying to find a way out. She used me as the scapegoat and continued with the charade by villianizing me- thus the snap decision of saying she's out of the wedding even though no wedding was planned at that time. She wanted to be mad and cause a problem-- very evident in how she baited me and picked a fight. And when I walked out her door that day, I knew that was the last I'd see of her ... ever. Also in retrospect, I wish I had not included my Dad and his family. It seems like all a facade at this point ... not authentic and fake. Too bad we don't have a 'go back' button like on the computer :) I am simply thankful that all is peaceful now for my family and that my child has been insulated from the craziness.

Sounds like my family: What CBs we don't...sigh. Sounds like my family: What CBs we don't "home grow" we import through re-marriage, adoption etc. Methinks your SIL is full of crap, but that's just my opinion ;) The timing and circumstances of her "disclosure" and behavior at her wedding make her highly suspect in my view. FWIW ;)<br />Yes, this should have been a wonderful time for you! I'm so glad I had initiated NC prior to my Wedding and in fact, before my "mother" had the opportunity to meet my husband. I knew she'd destroy any hope for our relationship and if that didn't work? She'd put forth the utmost effort to destroy our marriage.<br />I'm so sorry...<br />TWTundra Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12262066568878267648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3774711327647583278.post-88130208594253501002013-06-03T11:15:16.414-04:002013-06-03T11:15:16.414-04:00I was vague because the information was rather sta...I was vague because the information was rather startling and highly controversial. She told me about a situation that involved her, my step-brother, and my brother. Since that date to present the story varies whether it's her account, my step-brother's, or my brother's... and the situation tore that side of the family apart. Family members took sides and have strong opinions causing great stress and emotions. I am sorry that I can't directly say, but with this situation, I will have to keep it private. Thanks for asking and for the interest.
