“I know my sister put them up to it, but I thought my niece would have risen above it– given all I have done for her,” she vented.
Then, in the wake of her wedding, she vowed to move on and never speak to her sister’s family again. Since then, she and her husband have been enjoying a happy marriage. They also just welcomed their first baby into the world together and are thriving.
More recently, though, her niece reportedly met someone, got engaged, and sent out wedding invitations. So, her mom told her about the wedding and instructed her to mark her calendar– suggesting she needed to be there.
But honestly, she reminded her mom of what happened on her own wedding day and refused to attend her niece’s nuptials.
Shockingly, though, her mom just gave her the same speech again– telling her to “be the bigger person” and to stop living in the past. Then, even after she cried to her mom, she just got accused of being bitter and selfish.
“My mom gave me a blank stare and then told me that no one thinks about her and that I will regret my actions when she dies,” she explained.
So now, even though she really does not want to go, her mom’s guilt trip has left her wondering whether refusing to attend her niece’s wedding after her sister’s family tried to sabotage her own makes her immature or not.
Why do you think her sister has been such a bully her entire life? Should she feel required to attend her niece’s wedding after everything that has happened? What would you do in this situation?
