Is this passive aggressive or nice?

Is she making fun of my fiancé and I or is she roasting him or me or both of us? My friends seem to be split. She (fiancés mom) sent this as a family letter to everyone.

Honestly it just seems kinda batshit and irrelevant. She’s definitely having some kind of dig about you not being married yet but as the whole thing is kinda bananas, I’d just file this under “Ignore”.

Who’s the everyone she’s sent that to? She sounds mentally ill, in all seriousness. I’d be very concerned.

Wierd. I take it there's much more to the letter to which the final blurb refers? Can we have that bit aswell?

Seriously though, yes, FS has clearly done things properly whereas F is not really to be taken seriously at all and neither is the girlfriend whoever she is.

I don't like her. Did you?

Layla567876 · 17/10/2023 04:39

I guess I’m just wondering if the dig is at me or the son?

I’m it’s like 5,6 pages. I don’t have all the rest. She sends out several of these rambling letters a year.

Both of you but it’s completely nonsensical. I really wouldn’t worry about the specifics of it.

She sends this stuff to the neighbours several times a year? It sounds like she’s very unwell.

It’s weird as fuck.

moana1234 · 17/10/2023 05:01

OP i think ur worries are misdirected if my
mil was doing this id be looking at getting her serious help not worried about if the letter was making digs at me...

BlanketyB · 17/10/2023 07:48

Wow! That is really quite something - 5-6 pages several times a year. I doubt most people get to the back page.

Hard to say whether she is trying to be PA or attempting to be funny in a witty conversational way (but getting it wrong). She definitely comes across as someone who is likely to be emotionally immature, gossipy and a self absorbed though. How do you find her outside her letters?

Honourofgrayskull · 17/10/2023 07:55

It's almost like she is reminding herself of details about those in her life. Is she beginning to get Alzeihmer's?
Really quite strange

icelollycraving · 17/10/2023 07:59

I think any digs are the least of your problems. She sounds very unwell.

KeepForgetting · 17/10/2023 08:16

Extremely weird.

What’s she like in person?

PandyMoanyMum · 17/10/2023 08:25

It does sound like she feels that you and her son are not being respectful in some way towards her. Overall it sounda like she is suspicious and frightened. As PP have said - she sounds unwell and like she is trying to pin down in words what is going on in her life and hoping someone will come to her rescue. It’s very sad to read.

Useyourfork · 17/10/2023 10:57

I sense she is trying to communicate but doesn’t know how to. Does she have a habit of saying the wrong thing and alienating people?
I would keep a close eye on her in case she needs mental health support.
I would take it as she really wants you to get married. Which probably means she likes you 😊
