Woman Refuses To Be At Her Sister’s Wedding Because Of Their Mother Being Invited

Parents aren’t always supportive.

And, as much as we want it to be true, they aren’t always looking out for our best interests. They are, after all, human beings who make mistakes. However, not all of their mistakes can be overlooked. While most people have been raised to believe that family can always be forgiven, this is not always the case. Sometimes the actions are so heinous that it is impossible to put them behind you and move on. People who haven’t been through this sort of adversity may not fully comprehend what you’re going through.

That is essentially the crux of the issue in this story. Because her father was ab*sive and her mother never tried to stop him, the poster of this story did not have a good home life when she was young. So when child protection arrived and took her away, it was actually a relief for her. That clearly served as a wake-up call for the mother, and OP’s sister stayed with her sister. And, while people may now call her a good mother, OP has yet to form a good relationship with her, which is understandable. However, this is now causing problems with the OP’s sister.

The title makes her sound much more petty than what the reality is.

That is why we need to understand the situation of their home life.

 

And why there are issues with the mother.

I can understand how this would affect OP.

But her relationship with her sister has been good.

OP is happy with helping out her sister.

However, she wants nothing to do with the mother.

That is why she decided to be outright with her sister.

However, rather than understanding her side, the sister got annoyed with her.

I can understand that wedding preparations can be stressful but this isn’t how you treat your sibling.

Even if the mother has changed, OP has no responsibility to hear her out.

This has left a crack in the relationship between OP and her sister.

I can see where the sister’s point of view is coming from. After all, it’s her special day, and she wants everything to go smoothly. However, I’m not sure why people place so much importance on their wedding day. Isn’t it all about getting married to the person you love? Why does everything have to go your way? OP’s sister should understand how much this is affecting OP. To be honest, changing the groups would be the simplest solution to this problem. After all, I don’t think it’s such a big ask. The sister, on the other hand, is exaggerating the situation.

People in the comments however were on OP’s side.

And we even got a few comments explaining the situation in more detail.

I don’t like to jump to conclusions but this sort of seems like what is actually happening.

What are your thoughts on the matter? Do you think that OP should just suck it up and do what she’s told in order to save her sister’s wedding? Or do you believe that OP should advocate for herself? What would you do if you were in this situation? Let us know in the comments, and don’t forget to share this story with your friends so they can contribute their own stories.
