With a dislike of social gatherings, she ensures that she informs her son in advance she’ll be leaving his wedding early. But when his new wife tells her she’s a terrible mother, she is left wondering if she is going to be a catalyst for future problems.
A Great Relationship
Her son, 26 years old, had just recently gotten married to his wife, 25. She loved them both very much. The three of them had a fantastic relationship in every dynamic, and she was delighted for her to be joining the family.
Social Anxiety
It was relevant to mention that she really disliked parties and large gatherings. It wasn’t that she was anti-social; she just really strongly disliked them. They were too crowded and busy.
An Expected Party
It was kind of a downer when she heard that her son and daughter-in-law-in-law were going to have a wedding with around 150 people. It was too overwhelming for her to be around that many people.
Leaving Early
She told her son ahead of time that she would probably leave early and that she and the rest of the family would take two cars so that they could stay if they wanted to.
No Problems
He looked like he didn’t mind at the time. He said that as long as she was there for the ceremony and present in the pictures, he’d be more than happy. She took that as a sign of his approval.
Mother-Son Bonding
He had a mother-son dance planned, which she would be present for, and he’d included her in the count for the food costs. It wasn’t as though she was missing anything important.
Time to Leave
So, at the wedding itself, after the ceremony, she basically told him that she had an amazing day and the party looked great, but she was going to go home. She’d had a long day and attended everything that was necessary.
Sharp Exit
He asked if she was going to at least stay for cake or for food, but as the food didn’t look all that appetizing to her, she told him she was just going to leave. She was feeling exhausted and needed some quiet time.
A Cool Reaction
He said, “Alright, whatever, just go!” and she went back to her table to get her stuff. Her son hadn’t seemed overly happy, but she assumed he was caught up in the excitement of the day.
Both Leaving
She told her husband, and he said he didn’t feel comfortable driving back alone (the venue was very far from them, and the roads weren’t great!). She said, in that case, he should go with her, and eventually, he agreed. So they left.
Nasty Onslaught
Two days later, her son’s new wife bombarded her and her husband with messages that she was disgusted with them, saying horrible things about them and insulting them as people and as parents.
Ruined the Day
It was sickening! She told her off and asked why she thought it was okay to talk to her in-laws like that. She said that their leaving “ruined” the wedding for her new husband!
A Bad Temper
She went on to say that he was very upset for the rest of the night and continued to berate them. She politely told her to leave them alone and called her son, mainly to inform him that his wife had a temper that he should know about.
A Change of Tone
When they talked about it, he basically started berating her too and said things like, “You always do this!” and “Just leave me alone!” before hanging up. She had no idea where all of this was coming from!
Feeling Upset
She was deeply upset as she had no intention of hurting her son, or anyone for that matter! She had laid out that she struggled with large, busy parties, and they made her feel very anxious.
A Justified Move
Equally, she felt as though she was justified since she told him well ahead of time that she wasn’t going to stay. And it wasn’t as though she missed the main aspects of the day, such as the celebration itself!
Cooldown Period
She left it for a few days and called her son. He spoke to her but was definitely a lot cooler than usual. She asked if they could move past it, but he said it was his wife that was most upset.
A Turn of Events
Confused, she told him that his wife had mentioned how devastated he was about the whole thing, and it was him she had been supporting when she became aggressive. He went silent for a moment and stuttered a few words here and there.
Watching her Daughter-in-law
She is left feeling that her son was fine about the whole incident, but his new wife has taken it upon herself to create conflict. Despite her previous fantastic relationship with her daughter-in-law, she is now worried that she may try to cause further problems down the line.
