New Brunswick and Christmas

[lobo_solitario]

Mom finally came to visit yesterday.  I took the day off work because they were coming around 2 and I didn't get off till 4.  And with how they only stayed about 2 hours when I was here, I doubt they would have waited till I got back from work.  They were dropping off a chest freezer (on loan apparently from Mom's boyfriend because there was no

I'm sorry it's not working out for you and your mom. I swear I think Christmas ends up as a disappointment more often than not.

I didn't see this earlier... how did things turn out? Is your mom still thinking about moving?

I'm sorry you're having these problems with your family. I'm glad you have your husband and I hope you find some nice traditions so that the holidays are a pleasure instead of a chore. :/

Mom decided not to go. But she called me a few days ago and said the boyfriend asked her to marry him, she said no because she's not ready yet and there's money issues since she's on bankruptcy and if they get married his money becomes hers, etc. But she's wearing the ring. And the Fiance is planning a wedding for September. Wouldn't it just be a kick in the arse if they got married on my birthday? Husband says she's probably lying and she did say yes, but she's doing that thing where she thinks she's protecting me and will break it to me later. I didn't get into it with her about why she decided to tell me know, when the Fiance proposed in Niagra Falls in December. Took her two bloody months to let me know. Huh. I told hubby that I don't want to go to the wedding, but he said he has no idea what kind of person my mom is when it comes to holding a grudge, but that might not be the smartest thing to do. I don't know. I don't like the whole situation and I dislike her Fiance. She's settling for somebody who's in love with

Wow, I had no idea she broke the news about Logan like that! I'm pretty stunned, actually, that's terrible and I'm sorry. Does she typically avoid conflict? It sounds like she's trying to protect your feelings in her own way (or rather, spare herself having to deal with your feelings) but it's backfiring. If she's wearing the ring it sounds like she's either said yes or has already pretty much decided to do so. I'm sorry she can't be open with you, that's so strange.

She usually does try to avoid conflict. I didn't even think of it until after I'd hung up, I bought her story about having said no. But my husband was the one who brought up that it was strange for her to wear the ring if she'd decided to say no and put it off. And he was also the one who mentioned the time frame and why would she wait two months to tell me. I tried texting my brother today to see if he knows about it or not, but he's typically pretty slow at getting back to me about anything. I just want to know if she told him the same story. I used to never think that my mom lied, even when she would tell me all this stuff about my dad or about various money things and whatnot that she told me I can't tell him about. But now it seems like that's all she does is lie or omit the truth.
