Re: What's the worst thing you have ever forgotten?

@Curlymoe115 Yup, you’re right. Too many assumptions. To this day, I don’t recall hearing anyone talk about photos, where and when and that I had to be there. Same thing happened when my other ex-SIL planned a family reunion and I only heard about it the morning of and my mother freaked on me saying, “Yes, she told you. We all told you about it. She’s been planning it for 6 weeks!” I was a teenager then, so I probably tuned her out or wasn’t home for the 90% of that time. Back then, I would hang out at my friend’s house day and night, for the better part of each week.

I have five brothers. Of them, three got married. Of those three, only one is still married. The particular brother in the above story is divorced because his bride was only interested in fulfilling her fantasy of being a fairy princess meeting her prince, getting the ring, the dress and the big day, followed by two kids and dog. When she ran out out of fantasy dreams to fulfill, she mentally checked out of the dream and took up drugs. She left my brother and the kids. She moved out and on to some other guy. My brother got the kids and the house and the dog in the divorce. She’s still after him for money from time to time from what I can gather from Mum. It’s never enough for her.

I used to feel bad that I ruined their wedding photos enough that she never bothered having any prints made to give people since the family ones weren’t complete, but now I sorta chuckle to myself about it. I never discuss this with my brother. He and I long ago made peace over the wedding crap. I understand his position – he was in love, he was defending her while she was upset, it looked bad on me before he got all the facts, etc. He has long since been filled in on their mistakes at the wedding where I am concerned after my mother heard about what went down. She never liked his choice in bride. Ever. She never stood a chance with Mum. Heh.
