Feuds between relatives are not uncommon.
Conflicts especially escalate during the preparation and execution of large events like weddings.
Lara wrote to us, sharing how her big day turned into one of the saddest in her life.
In her letter, she wrote:
We decided to find out what people think about this situation.
Some blamed the bride for choosing her wealthy relatives and forgetting about her biological mother.
Maybe the adoptive mom was jealous, who knows?
I don’t see how any of this is the bio-mom’s fault. Shame on the bride and her snobbish parents and in-laws. © Lyn Hernandez / Facebook
We all do things to make sure we can make our children’s lives better, for your mom, she gave you a better chance at a stable home, that she couldn’t give you.
That was the hardest thing for her to do, also it shows the deep love she has for you. Yet mustn’t upset the MIL! So very sad. © Dani Hanks / Facebook
Others supported the letter’s author, saying that her mother once again behaved selfishly.
This is manipulation, she couldn’t even let you enjoy your day without putting her own guilty trip on it, so go ahead and do the same.
Your MIL is just making sure that the only permanent fixtures in your life that haven’t abandoned you already, are present and in pictures at the wedding.
Because duh, we don’t know the motive behind her bio mom’s return, and her adoptive parents and in-laws are wealthy. You don’t get to come in at the very end and enjoy relationships you did not invest in from the beginning. © Nina KP / Facebook
MIL may definitely have been out of line with her request, daughter could have stood up to her, but at the end of the day, that wedding ended up being about everyone BUT the bride! © Trish Valente / Facebook
Why wouldn’t she send the letter after the wedding instead of during? © Louna A Min / Facebook
