My son is getting married in June. We haven't gotten our invite yet, but not sure they've sent them! But he's made it clear we're invited and we've sorted out our plane tickets and where we are staying etc etc.
Those of you who know me know that amom has been openly hostile to me. IRL meetings she waits until she gets me alone and then lets loose with nastiness.
Online she was less subtle. First she was stalking me on FB making digs constantly. It culminated with an extremely nasty message where she cc'd my son and his stepmom.
Basically, even though it's caused some issues between my son and his amom, she's definately succeeded in causing a great deal of comfort between my son and I. I've had to block her from my FB for my mental well being.
Now, so you all know, I've tried very hard to not step on her toes in all of this. When introducing her to my girls I said 'this is A's mother' etc etc. I did not react to her nasty email at all. I know that part of her horribleness last summer was due to him and his financee coming to visit us. *sigh* I've never been anything but nice and respectful to her face (I've expressed dismay at her in private!)
I'm SO stressed out about this wedding. I'd not go but I'm afraid I'll regret not going. I want to sit in a corner and be ignored. I have nightmares that she's going to corner me in the Ladies room and spew venom at me. :-(
My son's wedding would be a stressful and emotional thing ANYWAY, her attitude just amplifies it.
How am I going to survive?

I'm also debating pinching one of my daughters when needed...
hehe
I wish I could talk to my son about things right now, it's just been so 'iffy' since last summer.
Anytime I talk about ANYTHING to do with the wedding, he changes the subject...
Nevermind.

Oh! Why DID I say that? I guess I was thinking of saying 'hey, how should I introduce myself at the wedding?'
But doesn't matter, you know?
OR, you could be "Q, from Sweden..." Okay, okay, I'm just being snarky about my last bfamily/afamily collision. (in fact, I should just permanently change my siggy to "Heidi, from California" :evilgrin:)
We could amuse ourselves with all the wacky ways you could introduce yourself.
"I'm A's tummy mommy" (I just think it's funny to imagine using it for a grown man)
"I was honored to help create the XYZ family with my precious gift of a child."
"I was the benefactress womb"
"T's the "Mom! T's the Mom! I'm just a guest! I'm nobody!"
"I'm A's lifegiver"
"I'm the one who got knocked up with A"
"I'm the resident crackwhore"
Oh, dear. It's been a while since crick's evil sense of humor came out so I think I just overcompensated.
And the Jurassic Park image- hahahaha!
I think you should carry one of the those little travel size hairspray bottles in your purse and if she corners you, pull it out and say you're not afraid to use it. :cowboy:
Thanks SO much for the laughs! hahaaha
It's a shame that no one would 'get' the "oh I'm their birthmother" line!
What I totally picture me doing is screaming
And then curling up into a huddled ball in a corner, mumbling and drooling, continuing to scream that if anyone tries to touch me.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I think most people will know who we are.
"I could tell you who I am, but then I'd have to kill you..."
Maybe I need a mini tape recorder with me to record anything T says to me if she manages to catch me alone?
"T's the "Mom! T's the Mom! I'm just a guest! I'm nobody!"

So!
After some back and forth and confusion, my son decided that we would stay with him until the night before the wedding, then we will stay with his stepmom, but he will also be there! Yowsa.
Maybe he really DOES want me to be there? Maybe he hasn't changed his mind??
And we got our invite so...guess we really ARE invited.
:-)
I'm ok right now but reserve the right to freak out at any moment...
