My adult middle son just got married 2 days ago and at the wedding my entire family was there even people from other states. We were not asked to be in any pictures with the wedding party and all the pictures done were just my DIL family. There weren't any causal pictures taken either and they had a girl there walking around for those. When I called my son to ask why didn't he have our side of the fams pics he replied he has a new family now and told me to grow up when I cried about it and proceeded to hang up on me. I have had so many problems with my son especially with him holding my grandson over my head for everything. My birthday was a couple days ago too and he didn't even call me which was at no surprise cause it was the 5th time he has done that. The MIL also asked me to buy GC a wagon which I did it was a 180 dollar radio flyer and after i GAVE It to GC she took it back for the money. MIL also asked me to pay for rehearsal dinner for wedding which was 400 dollars and then didn't invite me or my husband and my other children. When we want to visit my only GC MIL gives us hoops to jump through and they are never very reasonable ones and change on her whim. MIL has told me our family is poor and vulgar because she comes from a very well to do family. I am getting this all off my chest because I am finally taking my own advice and getting this burden gone from my life even though it means not seeing my GC who is just awesome. I am doing it for him because of the tension and ugliness this road has become. Love you little GC and god bless your life. Goodbye.

ok wise women. I have an adult child son that has entitlement issues. He believes I am a fake mother and says so because I would not co sign for a new car for him 3 years ago. He didn't let me see my grand son for a while until I allowed him and his girlfriend to be little me for 2 hours. I allowed it so I could see my first grandson. I don't have a relationship with him because i love him but i hate him. I know this sounds harsh but it is the only way I can feel better about myself. Standing up for who you are and being the best person and mom you can be is all we can do. You should go to the wedding! Asking your adult children to support you is un realistic. I tried that one and it back fired because my son said I was making him the bad guy to his siblings. Which yes he was right. Please love your self and pray that you have strenght to get by. It may take many years cause I am going on 5 now.
