Sigh
The thing about being estranged from your family is that it's always there. The estrangement, that is. You can fool yourself into thinking it's not there, but once you have it, you're stuck with it. You may be able to be civil, you may even be able to have very pleasant conversations or visits, but when push comes to shove, the broken places of a relationship manifest themselves. Clearly manifest themselves.Wedding planning is going as well as can be expected when it's being done by someone who is indecisive and has some, ahem, "family issues." It's down to either having a reception in one particular place in Jersey or having it in Philly where 3 locations are still in the running. There are pros and cons to all and the real wildcard is the fam.
This weekend is my friend Heather's bachelorette party and it will be nice to be at the beach and focus on someone else's wedding.

I can't imagine how this is weighing on you because I have it on my mind and I'm not even involved.
I just keep thinking:
how weird is it that your parents haven't met him?
how weird for your brother not to know the person you're planning to marry?
how uncomfortable for you to introduce all of these people to each other, people you love even if you don't always get along with them?
how hard to know that your mom might not love him like you do?
how hard for your mom to wonder if he is good enough for her girl?
My thoughts are with you and your family. If you need to adopt a family who adores you, my family is willing.
