She married yesterday and drove a stake
through my heart, not because of her young man.
The wedding itself is what caused such pain.
I drove from a far away place, got lost along
along the way, it took six hours for a three
hour drive; I’m surprised I made it in one day.
The next day I arrived at the wedding place, she was getting
dressed, her bridesmaids by the side. I tried to get near
her, but was shuffled basically aside. I left
the room to go near the pool, when I heard her
voice, cry out “Mom I need you!” As it was
I was to pretend to help her dress, I was just
there for a photo shoot.
Most unfriendly people I thought, even my daughter,
But that was nothing compared to what happened next.
There was the normal lighting ceremony for mothers of bride
and groom. As I went to light the candles for my
daughter, they said “oh, not you, we want her stepmother!”
I was shocked, hurt and confused. Would someone bring
things to light? “Sorry, you weren’t at rehearsal last night.”
Than when her father walked her down the aisle, the preacher
asked the usual thing, “who gives this woman away” Her
Dad’s answer surprised me so much, I thought I was going
to faint , “My granddaughter and I do”, was a
huge slap in the face.
After all was said and done, she said, “Mom, I need you again”.
Was it to hug me, let me congratulation the bride and groom?
No, it was for another photo shoot.
My heart aches and lay beating on the floor
And for future family relationships, between she and I;
she ferociously slammed the door.

This is terribly sad and touching, the pain of it rips the heart. I can only wish you strength and thank you for being brave enough to share it with us.

Children often suffer earlier in their lives, and then much later in their lives when a divorce isn't adjusted well; and sometimes the adults will suffer as well. I know it's very difficult for you because it seems like you have lost a daughter twice.
Keep well, and pray to God that she will change.
Lots of love to you,
Sandie Angel :o(
With Love,
