wedding so bad it ruined family
My daughter got married in sep. 2006 It was a beautiful wedding til the end, my new husband we completly beat up, broken bones in face and all. There were 150 people at the wedding I asked my daughter not to have too much alcohol, she wanted to make her friends happy. Most of them in their early 20's. Although the younger ones were drunk, it was the older crew that had too much to drink all family, one my new husband and exhusband and the grooms father and my brother and his wife. All were fighting outside at the end my husband got it the worse major scaring. My daughter didn't talk to me for 5 months, I reached out to her serveral times, she blames my husband. He blames my brother the grooms father and so the list goes on. Pass the buck so to speak, I don't know for sure who started it yet my daughter takes it out on me. she and I don't feel our relationship as been the same since, I continue to reach out to her and give her the space she needs to grow up and mature and be a new wife to her new husband she is only 21 yrs old, a few weeks ago she came over here and telling me he hits her for wearing a shirt too short which she said he bought her. She said this has been going on for three months, my daughter was a great honor roll student let home at 18 for love and at 21 just a few months ago got married,,,,she was only 20 at the time. they live at his parents home actually his parents live with her (his mom) grandfathers home. I can understand the frustration and the pressure they put upon themselves so young. She wants to go to college I offer time and again to pay for it as I have always come through for her financially, but my new husband and I disguessed this issue too and now that she is married they have to be grown up and not ask me for favors of money anymore. Their isn't much I can do now for my daughter just pray God will guide her and protect her, she doesn't see how this whole thing effected me I have even become more depressed because of all this, and I noticed she is losing weight and it scares. He doesn't have much of a back bone and puts alot on her. I used to feel bad for him not anymore after the wedding and he got what he could out of me he talks to me terribly. I have discussed this with my daughter and she agrees he needs counseling with no ins. they go very seldom to a pastor at the church with they don't attend there just a friend who married them and I beg him to don't give up on them they are a young couple and it can go either way. I will continue to pray for her and their marriage it just feels so hopeless as a mother to sit back and watch. It is very painful. sincerely, me
