Forget MOB, i am going to freak out on MY MOTHER!

I need opinions ladies,
i WAS close with my mom but she is divorcing my dad for another man after 30yrs. so u can say im a little bitter about that. so now she has this new jerk in florida she is dating and she is like a teenager all over again. she is on the phone with him all night, she has a drinking problem b/c she is miserable. she wont move out until my little sis is graduated from H.S which will be 05'. So far she has no intrest in my wedding. you know the planning, girls stuff, mother/daughter stuff. so, NOW she says she AND my dad are walking me down the aisle. AND she is riding in limo with me and my bridesmaids. Dont the parents of bride follow in there own cars? AND i dont want that B**CH walking me down the aisle. i know what she's doing she wants to look like mother of the year and shes not. I am very hurt and confused, how do u tell you MOM that she is not walking u down aisle with dad? we dont have a relationship anymore why she should she have that honor? please help!

wow..sorry you are going through that!! have you told her how you felt!!? If she doesnt walk you and you work things out later, will you regret her NOT walking you down. If not, then simply tell her hwo you feel and that you want just your dad to do it! There is nothing worng with that..its your special day.. Hugs to you..you have some tough decsions to make!!

all the books say the TRADITIONAL way is the father walks the girl down, the father goes in the limo to the church,
then its only the bridal partywith the bride
you tell her no, your doing it the way america does it. its your wedding... tell her ' you can do whatever you want when you get remarried'

In away I kind of know what you are going through, but the difference is my mom & dad have been divorced since I was little and I NEVER had any kind of relationship with my mother (I did not even invite her to the wedding) I would just simply explain to your mom you always thought of just you & your dad walking down the asile. Good Luck

Ditto the ladies here.
Tell her how you feel. Period.

I would freak if my mother-may she burn in hell-showed up (she divorced my dad when I was 8). We do not get a long to say the least.

Now.. I know this is a tough time for you, but you need to determine how much your mother ultimately means to you. No matter what she does with her personal life, she's still your mother. I tried after 15 years to find out what the hell my mother was thinking.. it ended up nasty.. but I was the bigger person... (younger but bigger) and I have nothing to regret. She has a lot to answer for.

I don't think your mother needs to walk with you down the aisle. It could be just a play for attention or a game of one-up/so-there against your father. BUt it's making you unhappy and I'd make that clear.

Hang in there.
Maybe your father will be happier overall. No one likes to be unloved. Good luck.
