Ive been working non stop and feeling a bit low today. My man mentioned about inviting a girl and her man to me last night, I dont want to invite her because she isnt friendly to me. She is one of those girls who is very friendly to the guys but really offish with women. Anyway, I never said anything to H2B about not inviting her but I was feeling a bit low about it today. SO I phoned my mum, who went off on one. Anyway I said I had to go and then 10 mins later she phoned me back, giving me a sh1tload of abuse.

She said, "I'm gettin sick of this, I am not going to know anyone at the wedding. I'll have no one to talk to, I am not sitting with his family cos theyre a bunch of sh1t....etc"

Now this is all because I dont want to invite my cousins. I dont want to invite them! She keeps attacking H2b. Him and his family have done nothing to upset my family. Ive had a couple of issues with them but nothing big, nothing that warrants any nastiness.

I just dont understand why she is getting so angry at me. Yes there will be more of his family there. BUT I AM HAPPY WITH THAT!

She even threatened not to come to my wedding?!! How pathetic is that? I am sitting at my work already on antidepressants and beta blockers, working 7 days a week at the mo and trying not to get upset and stressed and she knows this. So she phones me at work and goes mental at me.

I dont know what to say to her anymore, I find her attitude pathetic. Ive invited her sister, who is the only auntie Ive ever spent any time with and this isnt enough for her.

my mother was always like this to me, about EVERYTHING, from waht hair cut my kids had, to what i wore etc etc. glad she isnt in my life anymore, i can completely understand how upsetting and stressull it is though.

you need to say something when youre feeling calmer, things like this can just escalate to the point where you end up not talking.

Just try and sit and calm down a little, if you can have a cuppa, and just try and relax hun.
I agree to just ignore her calls for a while.

I really hope you feel better soon

I feel bad now cos she just phoned and apologised. I accepted her apology of course but I just wish she wouldnt get so wound up and take it out on me. She does this a lot, gets really wound up about something and goes nuts. Its just annoying cos she sees it as some kind of competition, that there should be equal numbers from each side and that cos there is more of his family coming she is totally pee' d off.

I do forgive her for shouting at me but I still feel really rubbish :-(

Id never hold a grudge but it would be nicer if she didnt do it in the first place, I cant even blame the menopause anymore cos that happened a while ago lol. It doesnt matter I suppose, I just got worried cos I thought she meant she wouldnt come. I shouldve known she was just off on one.
