    Basically, I'v not done anything wrong at all. I just was fed up of ringing my mum all the time and listening to her NOT listening to me, she didn't care what I wanted to say and wanted to get off the phone as soon as she could.

    I decided to leave it a few days and wait to see if she would miss me and call me up for a change. Just to wait until she had something to tell me. (I live a good 3 hour drive away from my family AND I don't drive, so I rely on her news of the family)

    She never called, even when she found out I had swine flu, kind of got promoted at work and even when we went to do the notices. So I emailed her telling her she was hurtful.

    She sent me a really horrible message back to me and hasn't contacted me since. That was 1 week and 4 days ago and we havn't spoken in total for a month and a week.

    I logged onto facebook lastnight and my sister had sent me a message which basically said she hated me, I was no sister of hers, she didn't want me in her life. That I was selfish and the only thing I cared about was my "spazzy cat". She told me that nobody cares and basically to f*ck off.

    It was obvious from the content of the message that my mum had told her things I had wrote to her and twisted them around. I was heartbroken when I read this...

    I called up my Nanna who was furious of the way they have been treating me and who told me that they had a bbq the other day and my other sister had made a passing comment about me. Now this sister won't tell me she has fallen out with me, she will just ignore me, which is what she is doing.

    So now not only have I got a mum that doesn't love me but my sisters have disowned me. All because I stood up to my mum for treating me bad. Shes poisoned my family against me and I am devistated.

    And to top it all off, I don't know what I am supposed to have done.

    My sisters are my bridesmaids not that they have made any effort to even discuss the wedding at any length with me. I don't know what to do.

    My best friend who is a friend of the family too has told me not to appologise for anything as I have done nothing wrong. That my mum has always been selfish and the reason she has poisoned my sisters against me is so she looks right and hard done by and so she doesn't have to accept she is wrong. She has said to totally blank their calls, messages or anything until they make the effort to come and see me and appologise. But my mum is so stuborn I know I will end up without my family at the wedding... I dont know what to do.

    Oh hun I am sorry your going through all this... I think your friend is right, I think you need to leave the ball in their court! I really don't think I would be having your sisters as bridesmaids to be honest! I would give that honour to a friend! You have 11 months yet before you get married, alot can change in that time! Is it possible your nanna could perhaps to speak to them and find out what if anything you are suppose to have done???

    BIG HUGS hun I know it must be difficult for you but try and keep smiling :o) x x x x

    I can't Suzi. I am a wreck. Its the worst sort of pain I have ever experienced. I can't even eat. We have always been so close but recently mum has changed. Shes a horrible witch and has always got something bad to say about people. I just don't understand why she is doing this to me.
    I don't know whether she is jealous that we are doing well down here or whether its the wedding or what.

    sorry to hear that, i do hope you are ok. you have no reason to apologise if you have done nothing wrong. maybe you could do what suzi suggests and write her a letter and see what happens x

    are u ok? leave ur mum to cool off for a bit then send her a letter, if you phone she could always not answer and if u get into an argument its easier to get stressed, but if u send a letter you can just say how you feel without getting too angry. hope u sort everything, xxxx

    *HUGE hugs*
    I'm so sorry they're being this awful towards you :( I'm not sure what to suggest other than writing a letter not only to your mum but to your sisters as well telling them how you feel.
    It's easy for me to say but if this does carry on until your wedding and they don't come then a few days/weeks/months later they are going to feel so bad for being so ridiculous - for your part send them an invite and leave it up to them, that way they can't say you turned your back on them.

    Hope you manage to get something sorted soon

    It's right what they say
    "The course of true love never runs smoothly"
    But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
    much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D
