I'm kind of amused by this whole thing - basically because my 'step mum' was verbally abusive towards me until I moved out of my dads home when I was 17, so anything that seems to be a downer for her does give me some satisfaction.
About 4 months ago my stepmum called me - which was odd enough in itself really, as she dislikes me - to ask me if I wanted to come to her and my fathers wedding. I was a teenie bit supprised, not having been told they were engaged, but they've been together for nearly 6 years and lived together for most of that time, so moving passed that, sure, I'd love to go to my fathers wedding. I could hear him in the background, so I was thinking it was very strange that she was calling and not him. I said yes, and she asked me if I was sure. I said yes, and she told me I didn't have to come, it was only going to be a small wedding. I said yes I'll be there and she sounded pretty flat when she said okay, its in november, she'll let me know details when they're confirmed.
I kind of forgot about it and I only speak to my dad once a month anyway, so I put it out of my mind.
I realised today that I'm planning to go on a holiday with friends in november and also I would like to see my mum for christmas, so I called and asked dad what the date is for the wedding, so I can plan my movements.
... he laughed... and was like "what? oh no, we're just taking it slow here..."
I said she'd invited me and he laughed again (nervous laugh) and basically told me they were't even engaged.
...
Thats pretty weird considering when she called me, I absolutely heard my fathers voice when we were on the phone, so I know she was within earshot when she made the phonecall, so she wasn't doing it sneakily, it sounded as though she was doing it right in front of him (as it sounded like he was talking to her also)
How puzzling! I really want to call my brother now, because he and dad are quite close and he probably knows more than I do.
I wont hide the fact I'm deeply relieved though! It honestly would have been hard to watch my dad marry her, considering our background. I'm still quite mad at my dad about the whole situation with her, because she was evil enough that rather than attacking me behind his back she would wait until he got home and then scream at me and call me selfish and spoilt and make it look like I was the horrible rebellious teenager - when really I'd just been in my room the whole afternoon. My dad should have known better, as he had been a single dad just me and him for years before she moved in, so he knew I was a good, polite and respectful person. I cant understand how he's never seen how spiteful and vicious she is.
Anyway... thats my weird update... I probably sound pretty malicious myself right now, but I have good reason to feel the way I do - more than I've shared here. She is a truely horrible person.
I still think its pretty puzzling though and I dislike mysteries like this!
