[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 342231, member: 4264"] Not a clue as to how to even guess at the 'why'. Wish I knew those types of answers a million times in my life. I never seem to find an answer, maybe one day lol. i think for me, I would go. Would I like sitting through this with these 2 thorns in my side right there as well and perhaps not behaving properly or speaking appropriately to me? Not a bit. but I know that I would not want to look back and know I missed my sons wedding. I also would worry about even MORE damage to my relationship with my son based on potential for him to hold a grudge for a long time if I didn't go. Especially if the reason I wasn't there, was these women. I'm sure he knows how you feel towards them. I am sorry he can't see the pain this has put you through. Unfortunatly, he obviously values them as a part of his life, and they are going to experience your kiddo's big day. I would hate to miss out personally and for a second think they got the memory of that day while I have a major life event of my kids that I'm not part of. Would it be simple or fun? Probably not so much. i would accept. i would tell difficult child (while biting my tongue) that i love him and want very much to attend the wedding. I would assure him that I would be appropriate and that i would be polite to them if I spoke to them, but i would also ensure difficult child did not have you all at the same table nor even too close together in your tables. A safety zone so to speak. Gosh it sucks when stuff like this crops up doesn't it??? Regardless of what we all might do though, follow YOUR gut and heart on this. Picture 5 years from now and if you wn't regret missing it, skip it. If you will regret it and feel you missed out, find a mental approach that allows you to sit in a room with these "women".
