[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 342285, member: 84"] Ahhhh, reminds me of my own wedding. It was going to be my way or the highway as far as my Mom was concerned. And I told her multiple times that if she didn't like it she didn't have to come, period. No one was forcing her. Sort of mean. But I did say I used to be a difficult child myself once upon a time. For me......with years to look back and reflect on past behaviors........... It was a statement of my adult independence. An "I'm grown up, so you can't tell me what I can and can't do" thing. But I'd have been deeply hurt (although I'd never have admitted it) if she'd chosen not to show up. It's your son's wedding. Hopefully the only one he will have. It's an important milestone in his life, and yours. It would take nothing short of hades on earth to keep me away from one of my kid's weddings. I can't tell you what to do. But will say I'd go because I would want to share this moment with my child regardless of who and who is not there. And I'd kill 'em with charm and kindness that is so sickening sweet that it just drips from you. It's hard for even someone as manipulative as these women are to find fuel to use against you being sweet as pie toward them. *insert evil laugh here* If you don't go........it gives them more leverage with difficult child. Cuz I can bet you they'll use it as fuel as to what a horrid parent you are and see they didn't care enough to even come to your wedding! I wish you lived closer. I'd teach you some of my grandma's techniques. They'd seen those meddling witches running for the hills in no time. And everyone would be wondering what their problem is because you're such a sweet person..........lol My grandma had it down to an art form. ;) (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
