Dear Abby: I called them from the ER and they wouldn’t pick up

I had a very small wedding. Even my parents didn’t get us a gift. Mom wouldn’t help with planning, either , and said I didn’t deserve gifts for a second wedding.

All totaled we received five gifts from 50 guests. I didn’t expect anything and was grateful for what we got, but the assumption that this marriage wasn’t important because it is my second hurt me very much. Am I wrong for being so deeply hurt?You stated that your first husband was manipulative and abusive. Is that also true about the household in which you were raised?

I can understand why you would be hurt and offended by what your mother said. It was cruel, dismissive and unnecessary. In fact, it was so tactless I cannot help but wonder if it was calculated to hurt. If this is typical of her, it may be time to reevaluate your relationship, protect yourself and step back.Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and no Thanksgiving would be complete without my sharing the traditional prayer penned by my dear late mother:We thank Thee for health and remember the sick.
