My mom literally told me she “didn’t care” about my wedding and that’s why she hasn’t helped with anything, and honestly I’ve never felt more hurt in my life.

To be fair, she did help pay for our videographer and wedding dress and I’m genuinely very thankful for that and appreciate it so much. But emotionally, she’s acted completely disconnected from the wedding and I feel like I’ve been begging for support and excitement from her since November. She didn’t come to try my white dress with me even though I asked her because she said “she didn’t feel like it”. She also didn’t want to host my bridal shower because she didn’t think it’s that big of a deal, so my sister in law is so sweet and offered to host it for me and I asked my mom to help me with my bridal shower registry and she said she was busy that day, but was sending me photos of her at the dog park. She also told me that she might have to go to another friend’s wedding the day of my bridal shower and said it wouldn’t be a “big deal” if she missed my bridal shower. I’ve just never felt more hurt. 😞

I asked why she waited until the last minute to buy a dress after knowing about the wedding since Thanksgiving, and she responded with “I didn’t care so I didn’t do anything” followed by “I’m not coming.”

I know this probably sounds dramatic, but hearing your own mother say she doesn’t care about your wedding is genuinely one of the most painful things I’ve ever experienced. :(
