Today, my soon-to-be step-daughter had as absolute meltdown at our rehearsal dinner, screaming that I ruined her family. Her parents were divorced 10 years before I even met him. Her mother was there because we’re friends. She’s 23 years-old. I honestly don’t know which one of us was more embarrassed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I admitted to my best friend that I was having second thoughts about getting married and was probably going to break up with him. Unfortunately, my fiance's daughter, who I absolutely adore, overheard the conversation and threw a huge screaming tantrum asking why I didn't want to be her mommy anymore. FML
Today, I found out that my step-daughter, who is 29, still living at home, who I've completely supported since marrying her mother 16 years ago, wants her cousin to walk her down the aisle at her wedding two years from now and not me. FML
Today, I went to my (now ex) boyfriend’s step-uncle’s wedding. He got absolutely wasted and kept talking about marrying me in front of his mom and step-dad, but was listing off who he would and wouldn’t invite, all in front of the people he wouldn’t invite. FML
Today, my daughter has been such a bridezilla that her fiancé actually dumped her. He treated her well, was handsome, and rich to boot, while still working at his career, yet she couldn’t calm down enough to see she was ruining her life. Now, after the breakup, she's moved back in with me. FML
Today, I overheard my soon to be step-daughter telling her friend on the phone that she hopes that mine and her father's wedding is just a big joke, and that he isn't really going to go through with it. I just dropped five grand on a dress and venue. She's in for a surprise. FML
Today, within one day of meeting me, my stepmom decided to break up with my dad. Her reason being, "I love you, but I just can’t put up with the kid." I’m 'the kid'. I’m 28 years-old. FML
Today, my stepdaughter wants her biological father, a man who abandoned her as a child, drinks to the point of puking and acting violent, and hasn’t held a real job in years to walk her down the aisle at her wedding. I feel like an ATM at this point because I paid for 80% of her wedding expenses. FML
Today, after my stepdaughter warned me that she’d get rid of me, she's finally successfully driven such a large wedge between me and my wife that we haven’t spoken in a month, and today she asked me for a divorce. Well played, stepdaughter, well played. FML
Today, I found out my daughter got married and didn’t even bother to tell anyone. She just turned up at a family get together with some random dude and introduced him as the guy she married two weeks ago while drunk. They’re now dating to see if the marriage will work out long term. I can’t even. FML
Today, my daughter came home in actual tears because a guy from college “dared”, yes “dared” to turn her down. She then went on a rant about how he “claimed to have a girlfriend” and “clearly doesn’t know how popular she is.” Clearly, I’ve raised a Mean Girl with a future as a 3-time divorcee. FML

Emotionally speaking, some people never grow up. There is such a thing as an emotional idiot and I think Step Daughter to be is that. Everyone there with half a functioning brain will know that this is the situation. The only thing you “ruined” was her illogical dream of her parents getting back together someday - That’s why the tantrum… Be glad that the brat is an “adult” and is either out of the house or will be soon.

She's 23. As an adult she doesn't have to worry about her parents' business. At her age she doesn't need a relationship with her father or her stepmother. If she doesn't want to be civil, then she doesn't have to attend the wedding. Problem solved.

Her mother was 23 years old? So she got divorced when she was 13? I'm so confused.

The daughter was 23 years old.

Oh, then that makes more sense. Usually I associate a pronoun with its nearest antecedent. Ok, then my bet is the OP is more embarrassed since the mother has had 23 years to adjust to her daughter's insanity.

The mother was actually her 23-year old stepmother. The daughter just wants some consistency in her life.

The step daughter was 33

So the biological mom was in her 50s? This is starting to make sense.

where did these ages come from? 🤣

Crazy people make them up. I'm guessing the groom/ex-husband/father at the center of this is a 107-year-old giant tortoise.

I hope she got banned from the wedding.
