His EVIL mother!!!!

[Lissa]

I have a very good friend that got engaged the day before Valentines this year. She and her fiance have been together for almost 7 years now, and they were such an amazing couple, it was like they were made for each other...if you picked up on the past tense, those aren't typos.

On Friday the 9th of this month they were registering, the wedding was to be in June, they were the happiest couple in the world, the VERY NEXT Tuesday his mother comes over and Dani(my friend) and her get into a fight. Now this woman is the very spawn of Satan, I know that's rude, but it's the truth. Here's how she is, Dani was not raised in a Christian home, but she became a Christian and is a very upright girl, but his mother believes it is impossible for her to be a Christian because she wasn't raised in a Christian home. As if that were the worst, here's what happened on Tuesday. So the usually passive Dani had had enough and she and his mother got into a bit of an argument, during which she actually hit Dani. (Note: Dani was raised in an abusive home) The woman yelled that she wasn't just marrying her son, she was marrying the family, which means it's perfectly fine for her to hit Dani because Dani's mother did.

Another note: His mother wears the pants in his family, and she has always told him what to do. She said she doesn't want her son to marry my friend, so he CALLED OFF THE ENGAGEMENT!!!! Dani is absolutely devastated, but she's not willing to give up yet and she's decided to fight for him. That's when the second blow came, he's dropped out a school and is moving to another state to live with relatives. He's really cut up about it and you can tell that he wants to be with Dani, but he's being loyal to his dear ol mum.

My thoughts: He was starting to get a bit panicky, your typical pre-wedding jitters, and it was making him uncomfortable so he ran to the one place he's always felt comfortable: Mommy. And in his emotional state she manipulated him into doing all this. Now Dani is not my only source of information here. I serve as a pressure relief valve for everyone having problems because they know I'll listen and not spread anything around, a lot of the people I know have known Dani and him and their families for years so I'm getting almost every angle on this issue.

I've known them for a while and they are so in love, something like that can't just change overnight, that's why he's going away, cause if he stays he's going to end up going against his mother again.

I just wish this would all work out. Two, almost three, weeks ago Dani and I were talking excitedly about the wedding and I was trying to help her with the planning, and now I'm trying to console her every night because she's lost her other half.
