I spoke to my parents and they've decided they will come to the wedding :) They'll probably change their minds a few times before it happens (in October), but I'm so happy. Thank you for all the support :)

Vanilla, thank you. It's so nice to know that someone is, it's a lovely thing to say. Wilderness, that's a really hurtful thing to say, but maybe that's what my parents think. Of course I love him, and if all I wanted was 'convenience', I'd be marrying someone with a job. He wanted us to get...

honeysuckle... I dunno. Not me. I think it's just an inferiority complex. When I see handsome men with beards and self esteem it just makes me feel threatened and sad I find facial hair a complete turn-off, I've never kissed anyone with facial hair and don't want to. But if my fiancé really wanted a...

just wanted to give hugs to everyone who's hurting. It's so hard. They are so lucky to be loved as you love them. Your words are heartbreaking, but beautiful. It is possible to get over people. It might take time, it might seem impossible, but it can happen. Most people aren't with their first...

Someone who loves my kids willing to learn to change a nappy, even if it takes him a while to get used to it in touch with his emotions not getting annoyed or panicky over my emotions always there with a hug, even if it's just a very quick hug willing to listen, even when it takes me ages to put...

I think living for the future is a good thing. The present shapes the future, and even though the future is your focus, you are making the most of the present by working hard in order to get the future you want. But there's more to your present and your future than your career, and I think...

I feel much worse than when I joined because of what happened today. But I knew I could come here and talk about it, and it helped to write it down and read the replies. It also means my fiancé doesn't have to deal with quite everything. I'm sure it would be harder for him if he was my only...

aw Edward, thank you :) That's so kind of you, I appreciate it so much. 130 miles sounds like a long way, but I really appreciate the thought., But there will be cake, don't worry. Limlim, thank you for the suggestion. I didn't know about JPs. We really wanted a church wedding, but the most...

I actually can't remember. I think I was excited and hopeful. The nerves kicked in after the first couple of days. Lots of people are nice when they first meet me, it's when they get to know me that the trouble starts. I too like rep points. I think all mine came on the first day I was here.

I put on a white dress this morning and it stayed white most of the day, but then the girls came home and it now has some rather interesting stains on courtesy of my little A, bless her. But I'm sure that only makes it look better. I'm also wearing a white bolero and I wore white peep-toes...

As things stand, the wedding is off. We only have one guest left. The only person who wants to come is the girls' dad. Maybe he should bring his girlfriend. They can be my witnesses and he can give me away. There must be something wrong with me. Not even my parents want to come to my wedding...

You're right, ladyforsaken. They won't be there. They told me today. I've done nothing but cry ever since. The girls are with their dad. I hope I'd have been able to keep it together for their sake. I'll find out when they get home, I'll do my best for them. My fiancé is making more tea. I don't...

Cavey, thank you for your reply. It's just so hard. There's always been a part of me that's always wanted to do whatever it takes to make my parents happy. I can't give in to them this time, and I know from experience that doing what they want doesn't really make any of us happy. But I'm...

Thanks for understanding, it's nice to meet you too :)

Having a baby is the most amazing, brilliant, beautiful thing in the world. But it's so so so so hard. Physically, mentally, everything. Completely 100% worth it, but the joy doesn't carry you through quite everything. I'd like to think I'm an okay mother, but reading this thread has been...
