Vickie, a WHINER you are NOT!!! A SURVIVOR you ARE!!!! You wrote: According to my sister that is "my choice." My mother is also angry at me for "causing my sister pain." *************** Your sister, and your mother are now adding to your traumatic experiences......I cannot believe how ANY ONE would ask you to attend that wedding under the circumstances. Please be firm and stay strong in your refusal. If they cannot understand, in my opinion they have let you down, also. Know that you have my support always! My heart goes out to you.....
