Moreover, she was blessed with the most amazing in-laws ever, as they lovingly accepted her decision to exclude her parents

In today’s wedding drama, the original poster (OP) tells us how she finally put her foot down against her toxic parents. They were nothing but trouble, right from her engagement to before her marriage. Her mom was mad that they were having the wedding abroad, while her dad was pissed that her fiancé didn’t even ask for his “blessing” before proposing.

Moreover, they also skipped out on their engagement party, all because OP couldn’t attend her mother’s extravagant birthday, as she couldn’t afford it. As if shamelessly declining her in-laws’ invitation to this party wasn’t enough, the cruel parents had more drama up their sleeves. Since her dad was whining about the whole “blessing” thing, her fiancé planned to do it.

The poor guy drove eight hours and booked a hotel room to speak with her father, but despite all that effort, guess what he did? He simply declined to give his blessing! Apparently, he asked the guy whether he would lie to his father-in-law if the bride asked him to. Obviously, he said yes, but this triggered the old man into calling him deceitful and berating him in a public restaurant.

That was the last straw for the bridal couple, as OP cut them off from her life. However, the juicy part was how she got her revenge because of her savage great aunt. The old lady didn’t even hesitate to harshly call out their behavior. As a cherry on top, the poster also gained wonderful in-laws, who stood by her during all this and treated her like their own daughter.

We all know that wedding planning can be a real pain. Experts also emphasize that “for many couples, the excitement of planning their special day can quickly turn into overwhelming stress and anxiety. It can also build pressure to meet societal, cultural, and parental expectations.” When going through all that, handling your toxic family can upset anyone.

The fact that they could do this to their own daughter just shows how awfully cruel they are. Research also stressed that this verbal belittlement and manipulation is a form of emotional mistreatment. It further elaborates that this harmful behavior can undermine their child’s sense of self-worth, stability, and overall mental well-being at any age.

After she vented online, folks couldn’t stop applauding her great aunt and in-laws, and I must say, their egos getting crushed by an old lady sounds really satisfying. Data has shown that narcissistic personality disorder affects an estimated 1% of the population. Well, this cruel couple definitely seems to belong in this category, considering how they behaved.

Studies say that it’s a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. Also, they need and seek too much attention and may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others. Sounds exactly like them, doesn’t it? Well, it’s a good thing they wouldn’t have the chance to create more drama at the wedding.
