Me and Andrew have decided it is time to get married and have gotten a date for the 8th February 2014, I am over the moon and cannot wait. We have known this for 2 weeks but I've just not had time to come and let you all know.

Anyway, I asked my mum to give me away on the day and she said yes ( my mum is a drug user and alcoholic) and I have been in foster care from the age of 9 to 14 because of her but thought I would ask her anyway to try and give her something to look forward too.
Well on Tuesday my mum asked me to get her a loan in my name to which I replied no because I know exactly what she wants the money for even though she says its for food, I told her why I wouldn't get her one (because I can't watch her kill herself much longer) which she said was okay and she understood that, anyway she got my grandma to ring me that same night to ask if she could go on my laptop, I said no again because she wanted to come rund to my house at 7:30pm at night and sit in my house and go on Facebook, anyway that was that and it was left alone.

The next day I get a phone call off my nanna saying "your mum said she wants nothing to do with you ever again and you can f**k off and find someone else to give you away" I was shaking, crying and basically raging angry because of this.
The thing is my mum lost all her children due to neglecting us, child cruelty and hitting us and not feeding my younger brother who was 2 at the time, we got taken into are anyway and I was in the same foster placement as my brother for 3 years when social services decided it was best that he was adopted so that he could have a stable life, I loved my brother to pieces and it broke my heart to see him go, I will never fully forgive my mum for that and have always been angry at her for it.
Whilst being in care my mum got pregnant and had a little girl to a heroin user who was taken from her at birth, 2 months later she was pregnant again with another little girl who also got taken from her at birth, when I asked my mum why she got pregnant again when she had already had me, my brother and a baby taken from her her reply was "I didn't mean to, I didn't want to use a condom because its like sha****g a plastic bag" anyway as you can imagine my mum is a waste of human life but this is how she treats me anyway.
I don't know how I have forgiven her so many times for things she has caused in the past but I have, my mum is a cannabis, amphetamine and cocaine user and drinks on a daily basis, I also think she uses heroin but I am not 100% sure.
Should I block her out of my life altogether now as I can't face this anymore, she is pure evil and she will not give me away on the biggest day of my life. It's sad really.


This started off as a happy thread and ended like this, anyway I just needed a rant and I'm sorry for the long post

*biggest hugs ever*
Cheer up hunni.
I think you should accept its the end of your's and your mothers relationship. If she doesnt want to be involved in your life, well it's her loss not yours. You don't want her to ruin it either.
Sure it would be nice for her to be clean and be there to give you away.
Is there anychance you can track down your brother and see if things can become good between you and then ask him to maybe give you away?
anything like that. Just make sure you make it about you and your partner that day and noone else.
good luck x x x
 
Congratulations on your engagement! :)

I agree completely with Tabbi. Your mother is not deserving of having the honour of walking you down the aisle or even attending your wedding. This is such a happy time for you both. Do not let her spoil it. You gave her a chance and she's blown it. How about walking down the aisle accompanied by your eldest son?
 
What the ladies have said above hun!

Stay strong. You deserve better, you have ur amazing OH and lil boys! U dont need your mum in your life when ahea like that and if shes been like this from day 1 it doesnt look like she after any support or help to get clean.

Id focus on your life, your boys and your wedding!!


Congratulations and all the best hun xxx
 
My brother is only 12yo and has been adopted, I am getting my grandma to give me away now as she brought me up really anyway.

I'm just upset & angry my mum doesn't want too.

First of all, congrats on the wedding.

In regards to your mum, I am so sorry you are going through this and it sounds like you have had a real tough time. I can't say what I think you should do but If I were in the situation I wld maybe say I didnt want contact til she was clean and sober etc. I am not a very forgiving person though and wld find things in the past hard to let go of, it just depends whats right for you. Sorry im not much help xx
 
Congratulations on getting married! I hope it's a wonderful day, despite the heartache you are going through with your mum. You do need people around you that you can rely on, on the day, so maybe your mum wouldn't have been the best choice, though I'm amazed you wanted to honour her by asking in the first place, big well done to you. As your grandmother brought you up, it is so much more honouring to ask her anyway. Enjoy every moment. Do you have a date set?
 
I asked my mum because I thought it would maybe make her realise that she is still a big part of my life, but turns out she doesn't care either way.

Yes, my nanna brought me up mostly when I was younger, and fought for me when I went into foster care at the age of 9, she got me back when I was 14 and I lived with her up until the age of 16 when I got my own home.

She still looks after me as much as she can, she is taking me out on Wednesday to buy me £100 worth of summer clothes and is buying my eldest son a iPad mini for Christmas ( he will only be 3) so will have to put some sort of otter box on it haha, I also go to bingo every Tuesday night with my nanna.

My date is 8th February 2014 xx
