I am so sorry I can't imagine how had it is to lose your stepdad and your good relationship with your mom. Hopefully they will take it slow before rushing into the wedding. ((Hugs))
Do you guys normal have a decent relationship? Do you know her fi?
Yes, I'm an only child and my mom and I have always been very close. I do know her "fi"...I posted about their relationship a while back. I know him (M) my whole life, my mom knows him since the 1970's. He was friends with my biological dad( my dad passed when I was 5)-one of his hunting partners. When my stepfather married my mom, he became part of that hunting group and was friends with M as well.
They do not plan to actually get married. My mom would lose her benefits if she did.
Wait...they're engaged but not actually going to get married? What's the point of that?
Ugh...I don't know. I found out it's actually his family heirloom ring. My mother said, "it's to show his commitment to me". They've already purchased a house together FFS.
Thanks all for the hugs and understanding my being upset over all this. It's really a lot to absorb. I feel like I've gone through so many life changes in the past 2 years (beginning with divorce) --it's a wonder I haven't ended up more mentally shaken than I am.
