Now, I know just by reading that title, I obviously seem like the asshole, but just listen. I (24 F) am soon getting married to my fiancé (25 M) We sent out the invited s little over 3 months ago, and invited mostly close friends and family., all except for my aunt, let’s call her Linda. Now, to explain the title, when I was 3 years old I went hiking on a trail with my aunt, uncle, sister, and some friends. We stopped by a ledge with beautiful scenery to take pictures, and when my uncle said it was time to move on with the trail, I refused to leave because, well, I was a stubborn 3 year old. My uncle would have to drag me and right the second he would let go, I would rin back for no damn reason at all. Man I was a dumbass. The last time he pulled me, I ran as fast as I could because I was a 3 year old dumbass and fell 20 feet right into the lake below the ledge. The water was deep for me and I started crying in fear and everybody started panicking and trying to find away to get down, but Linda jumped right into the water. She jumped down to make sure I was okay and helped me get to safety. I adored her ever since, but that soon changed a couple years later. Ever since I came out as bisexual, she hasn’t even looked me in the eyes. She was a huge Christian and would call me slurs, mentally abuse me, guilt-trip me with stuff such as “I saved your life and you do this?”, locked me in my room with no bathroom, water, food, or anything, and tried to send me to a gay conversion camp, but nobody approved. She wouldn’t even take care of me when needed. I was only 13. Fast forward now, I was engaged to my boyfriend of 6 years and was over the moon thrilled. We sent out wedding invitations and the word spread around about my weddings, and Linda overheard and saw that she wasn’t invited. When I tell you this woman went BALLISTIC. I read and listened to each and every one of her texts and voicemails of her going on about how I was a disappointment to the family (even though i got into college and not her), how she dreamed about my wedding since I was a baby, and oh yeah, the guilt-tripping! I couldn’t take this anymore and blocked her on everything. My parents and sister were very upset with her and didn’t approve of her behavior at all. We just had our bachelorette party last week, and this woman somehow “invited” herself to it and had the AUDACITY to bring a gift. I immediately tried to kick her out but she manipulated everyone into letting her stay and ruined my whole evening. Everyone except for my parents, older sister, and family in law are treating me like I ATA. AITA?
