Stand Up for yourself

Quote From: kindheart1

my name is bridget and i am 17 i'll be turning 18 in January and i'm getting married to the love of my life in march and his mother and father hates me with a passion. I dont understand it because I have been so nice to them and never said anything out of the way to them because I love my fiance and I dont want him in the middle of all this but he is and I dont like that.. They tell him not to marry me because I'm a trouble maker and a liar and that I'm no good..So we dont know what to do...We are not letting them come to our wedding or come to our house or anything because of the way that his parents treats us when we are together.  They are so harsh I'm a very sweet and loving girl and I always give everyong a chance because thats the kind of person that I am. I love my fiance with all my heart and soul but we just dont know what to do about his parents because they even abused him when he was little but he is nothing like his parents at all..He is so loving and caring it's hard to believe that he came from that mess you know.  So my parents are helping us by giving us their old trailer and helping us get started ...We love my parents cause they are willing to help us and approve of our marriage...So Please if you all have any advice or just anything please let me know....Thanks Bridget

First of all, have you and your fiance spoken to his parents about how you feel.  Have they told "YOU" why it is they dislike you. And if so, just let them know that even though they dis-approve of you two getting married, You want them to be a part of the wedding as all parent should be, but they need to understand that their son loves you enough to marry you and they should respect that. If they are still unable, inform them that you will be there when they change their minds. It could be a hard process, but letting them know that you are not going to let them break up your wedding could make them take a step back and re-evaluate their doings. Believe me I know, my in-law were the same way. My husband is from Africa and his family was TOTALLY against him marrying me. But after some time, they understood that they could no longer control what their son does and backed off. I am now happy to call them Mom and Dad.
