Wedding

I am expected to attend my step-daughter’s wedding in about a week. I am so stressed and anxious, I can hardly function. I don’t like being in crowds and his ex will be there. (The mother of the bride). She is a very unhappy woman and she hates my husband (her ex). I am so afraid that she will make nasty remarks and ruin the whole thing! Naturally, she does not care for me and she is an alcoholic. She tends to overindulge at functions such as this. Wish me luck everyone, I am going to need all the blessings I can get!

I definitely wish you luck! Is your husband supportive? Will he help you get through it?

Yes, he will not let her get too far….I don’t want him to slap her! Thank you for the Luck wish! Also, thank you for caring. I am nervous, but with support from this site, I think I will be ok.

Well you definitely have my support. Keep me posted.

I will. Thanks!

you can only control your behavior. Try not to stress. If she gets drunk and behaves in a nasty manner it will only show everyone else how bitter she is and unfortunately it will ruin her daughter's big day. However, none of that will fall on you. All you have to do is show up and be supportive to your husband and step-daughter.

You are absolutely right! She will get drunk, I am sure. I don’t drink, therefore, I can easily walk away from her and her nonsense. I will do my very best not to stress. Thank you for your support.

Don't get into any conversation with her, Just avoid her proximity
