My daughter is getting married next year. Her dad and my youngest go to church on a Saturday: she knows this (they are very much into the Sabbath worship), but has set her wedding for a Saturday and now all hell is breaking loose as her dad says he wont walk her down the aisle, her sister wont be a bridesmaid...and I'm piggy in the middle.

The irony is my ex-husband walked my youngest sister down the aisle as my dad wouldn't do it because of religion either - and he had a lot to say - now he's doing the same thing.

What should be a happy occasion is turning into war!

Perhaps it's just your moms choice of words?

Maybe she meant to say something else but the words came out wrong?

To be honest because of the history with certain family members i simply avoided events for a number of years.Protecting myself from pain and stress came first.

People with a drink problem don't like to be confronted with the fact they drink, is there any way you can avoid her while attending ?

Suggest to your daughter that she goes off to the Bahamas and get married there - and you'll come with her for a nice holibob too! If her dad and sister aren't going to be there anyway it won't matter where it's held will it.

sadly we can't pick our families - but we can ignore the ones we don't like !

well my sister can anyway

she stood next to our cousin in the queue at asda and didn't speak to her.

now even if i don't particularly care for someone, i would at last acknowledge their presence - i don't know how she does it !

Same happened at my dad's funeral some ten years ago when my bossy sister and her daughter tried to boss everyone around. I told em both to f**** off and I would be the one orchestrating things, they were not happy and were wailing to my mum, who likes to keep everyone one happy all the time. Thank god I live 500 miles away from them!

She was thinking the very same thing: but her fiance talked her out of it.

tbh if I had been faced with this dilemma in either of my marriages I'd have said to the person causing the friction that if they were prepared to ruin this most important of days then they could kiss goodbye to ever seeing my children when they're born.

People can be such selfish assholes sometimes.

oooh lethal

i don't wish to make light of your situation btw

i've seen what drink does to people on more than 1 occasion and it isn't nice

i also had a short (tho not short enough) relat with a drug addict who constantly ruined every gathering we attended, family or otherwise

old story, once i found out about the drugs, thought i could change things, help out etc - wrong !

This may sound horribly harsh, but if you know she's drinking and driving, you should report her to the police. Not only are you potentially saving her life and the lives of others, it may also be the kick up the arse she needs to sort herself out.

my own family are very close and loving but had these problems with my ex and his family. Just did not rise to it for many years until the kids were old enough to understand.

Then there I was - gone.

Many years ago I made a decision in my life......

If you were not related.......would I take anything to do with you as a human being.............NO then sod off

99.9% of my family are arseholes so I cleaned them out of my life......

I have a younger brother across the Atlantic I keep in touch with but the rest can kiss my arse.

I cope by trying to stay away from my mum, the less I am near her, the better for me. When my niece knew that she was dying, she said that under no circumstances was my mother to be told and she didn't want her at the funeral because she hated her so much what hurts is not just that no-one told me because they thought that I would tell her, but more because she is my mother and I would so love to have a nice mother that I can share things with and do all those things that loving families do
