My daughter got married last Wednesday, so my ex-spouse and his wife had a party for her and the new spouse. I went to my hometown for this, as I probably mentioned.
After that it took me a while to sort ot out properly. Since I had 5 hours the next day to drive home I had plenty of time ti think about it.
At first I felt bad and depressed. It seemed that the ex and his wife and her kids (grown) all just have a peachy life and are so happy. My ex-husband's family (2 nieces) treated me like shit. All of the pix posted of the party do not have me in them, but with my daughter posing (requested) with everyone else. Also my ex brother in law was there with his new wife, so I couldn't help but think WOW-they each got rid of someone they had been married to for a long time and now are married to someone who makes them happy. ( In alcoholic thinking this means someone WORTHY )
BUT the more I thought about it I realized that the 2 young adult daughters of the ex's wife were loud mouth boors, and the son who was there is a druggie stoner. So all is not perfect with that bunch.
And though I was not treated like it AT ALL I am still her mother and noone can change that. So I went from sad to mad to acceptance of it all.
Amusing huh?
