Dear Amy: My daughter was recently married.
You should tell your daughter that you have concerns with how her wife treats her, and ask her if she is OK with the relationship. Tell her that you love her, support her, and that she will always have a home with you, no matter what.Abusive and controlling partners succeed when they successfully isolate their partners from friends and family.
We heard later that the shower was a disaster and that Sharon and her mother were furious with the guests.My sister thinks we should throw Sharon a traditional shower for “our side” of the family, but it’s obviously not something she would be satisfied with!If excess could be considered a trend, then I suppose this monster of a gift-grab fits the trend.
Normally the maid of honor hosts the shower, but this seems to have been planned by the bride and her mother — also bucking the norm. I do like the idea of you and your sister hosting a small-scale party for this new family member. It could be a simple themed event held in the backyard. This will be a gracious way of you conveying your own values, while offering this bride a quiet “reset.” Don’t worry about “Sharon’s” satisfaction. Her attitude is her responsibility.“Hurting” are grandparents who aren’t seeing their grandchildren because of the way the childrens’ parents treat them.— UpsetThese grandparents were “done” being mistreated by the parents; they seemed to be walking away from the relationship.
