Don’t fret about the things that you’re powerless to control or they will control you.
Visit your Mom, and trust that everything will work out for the wedding.
Good Luck,

I feel so badly for you. Many positive moments in my life have been overshadowed by great sadness and I only hope you are able to enjoy your day of happiness despite this tragic thing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Tuba- You have my deepest sympathies. May things work out no matter what you decide.
Tuba -
My one piece of advice is to keep reminding yourself that there are only a few things we can control in our lives. Concentrate, if you can, on those things you CAN control - your Mom isn’t one of them - and try to let go of the others.
My Mom’s bi-polar and so am I, so I know it from both sides.
I wish you well.
Well, as far as I can see, dropzone didn’t owe you any apology. Mjollnier did. dropzone told him that this was not the time or the place to be a jerk, and gave you support.
I am glad that maybe things are going to work out for your wedding. Best wishes for a beautiful day, sweetie.

tuba—I been there. My Grandma. She raised me as much as Mom & Dad. It’s never easy…
You’re not alone. There are support groups for the family members of people with mental illness. They can help, and they can be found in your community.
Find one. Today.
Nope, I’m a public apologizer. Musta been Mjolly.
sorry sorry sorry, it was Mjollnir who apologized, not Drop. (though dropzone, if you wish to fall on your knees and apologize for not worshiping me at an earlier time, you may…;))
Anyway my wedding was last night. It was on the beach and everything was beautiful. The reception that followed was at my parents house and was wonderful as well.
The only horrible part was that Chris and I got Bronchitis a few days before the wedding. So I was really sick and stressed out. My mom made it out of the hospital two days before the wedding. She was manic at the wedding and wouldn’t let me get out my gown. I couldn’t breathe in it!!!
We left at around 11:45pm, and made it home in five minutes. I medicated myself and fell into bed without a second glance at my husband. Poor baby…
So No! I didn’t consummate my marraige on my wedding night. And due to my antibiotics, my Pill isn’t efective. So it is condom time for 8 more days. Which sucks, cause they irritate.
We will be on a mini-honeymoon for the next 3-4 days, so I’ll see ya’ll later

Congratulations Tuba!
I hope u get over the bronchitis, and have a good honeymoon.
Sorry, Tubagirl, but your husband will have worship you for a while. Scotti’s got dibs on me for a while.
Glad your wedding went off perfectly, as these things go. Now go and enjoy your honeymoon.
I’m not sure how I missed this, but I hope my “dibs” is still operational?
Scotti 
For as long as you want, darlin’.
Yes, but honey darlin’, I happened to notice that you were making the moves on AudreyK, (whom I love dearly) and THEN you told Ayesha that her absence had forced you into the arms of (apparently) inferior women.
Now, I am a reasonable woman, but doesn’t this constitute a breach of contract? Besides which, when did Audrey and I become inferior? NEVER, sweetheart, NEVER!
Just a thought, okay?
(Better be sending more of those lyrical and magically tongued messages my way. I have lots of room on my bathroom mirror, and would be happy to add more of your marvelous prose to my collection.)
So, if I have dibs, as you said, I do not think you really mean it. I am a sad Scotti. A crushed Scotti. An entirely confused Scotti.
But I can live with this, especially since I really like you.
You are a pumpkin~~
Luvsyu-
