I feel so upset. I am form an Eastern European country but moved to UK 10 years ago. My mum still can’t accept that, I’m the only child and she hates the fact that I’m far even though I’m in a happy relationship and have a beautiful 8 month old daughter. I’m getting married in UK in August and just invited my whole (small) family. My cousin that has been like a sister to me said that she’s got holidays booked that date and she will struggle to cancel and her friends will loose deposit too (?), my auntie is not vaccinated so is my mum, I don’t think there is a chance that they will? Other aunties also won’t travel. My mum keeps pecking at me why we are not getting married in the church and why is my partner not baptised and won’t do it all for me (she’s super religious). Every time I speak to my family they make me feel bad about something, especially my mum, she’s never happy with me, she haven’t visited me once during my maternity leave to help me with a newborn (we’ve got plenty of space for her to stay) she hasn’t even seen our house that we bought in 2020 as she hates travelling. I don’t even know whether she will make it to my own wedding 😢 it all makes me very sad and I’m dragging every phone conversation with my mum as she never listens to me, only talks about her and her life, she knows so little about me, my partner and my daughter, I think she’s just trying to distance herself from us because she can’t bear me living far but it works both ways.
Sorry just needed to vent. All I want to do is to live happy and peaceful life and enjoy wedding planning without all the dramas!
