The thing I'm struggling with is my family dynamic. I mean the house I grew up in. Dad was a bully to us while we were growing up and now brother bullies, etc.. Dad wasn't addict but was volatile and not nurturing enough. Anyways I'm thinking of my ABs response (he said Im only coming to your event for your son.) If I had responded to him that way for HIS son's special day he would have revoked my invitation!! And that's putting it politely - something he (and most As) is not!! So I'm struggling with that and my parents (esp mom) just wanting me to accept that and be treated poorly. It's causing a bit of stress the week before the big day. Trying hard to stay positive and excited for my kind family members and friends attending.
Thanks for the vent.
