[QUOTE="TheyAreLegallyAdultsNow, post: 342624, member: 8405"] (((((((((((((HUGS!!!))))))))))))) Hang in there ThreeShadows! Like the others I'd suggest you attend the wedding... but don't feel obligated to stay at the reception any longer than you are comfortable. I'm not a huge fan of the "smile to their face/politely cut those you disdain with your words" technique though. I'm grateful for choices... and self control. The wedding is not the time nor place to address your son's obnoxious enablers. There may never be the time or place to address those people... they seem very content in their stupidity. You can't change people who don't want to change. You don't have to say hello to those horrible people at the wedding, unless you want to, and even then I wouldn't recommend it unless you think they will not make a scene. I'm guessing there will be other people invited to the celebration that you may actually enjoy seeing. I'd encourage a big smile and a polite "excuse me" to those whose company you are enjoying as you walk the opposite direction of unwelcome people headed your way. Some weddings have a receiving line... (most I have attended lately have not had this) if your son's will, and you'd [U]like to be a part [/U]of greeting the guests, you can always arrange to check your cell phone, reset your watch or find something to do (powder room visit?) as you step out of line until they pass. I know in an earlier post you mentioned your wedding celebration was small. Do you know how many guests will be invited to your son's celebration? [/QUOTE]
