She wore white to my wedding
Yep. My nmom wore white to my wedding. How original. When I informed her that it was white, she said "it's not white, it's off-white.". I didn't wanna ruin the day since it was literally one hour before the ceremony that I saw this and I was still getting dressed myself.
​
Then she wanted to start the ceremony without my husband's family having arrived. She "forgot".
​
Then she announced my marriage on her Facebook before the day was even over.
​
And then she posted pictures and a detailed description of the personal symbolism of our custom wedding bands. Something that we only shared with close family.
​
When we saw it we let her know that we didn't appreciate the post and that we should have had the opportunity to announce our own marriage and that we wanted to keep our rings personal. she said "this is my story too". "You're stealing my joy".
​
This was when it hit me like a truck. She's a narcissist. This was the first big event in my life that undoubtedly was about ME. My brain couldn't make excuses for her anymore.
​
​
I just needed to vent. It's so sad. I didn't feel taken care of on my own wedding day.
