My daughter, Nina (31F), and my son, Josh (28M), have always been close, especially after their father passed away a few years ago. Nina, being the elder sibling, really stepped up. She became our quiet rock, supporting Josh emotionally and even financially. She helped him find a job when he was struggling, and she even opened her home to me when I needed a place to stay. She’s always been incredibly generous and selfless, never asking for anything in return. I’ve always been so proud of her. She is an amazing daughter. Then Josh met Tiffany. At first, I was happy for him. Tiffany seemed nice enough, but it didn’t take long for her true colors to show. The moment Josh proposed, Tiffany started making demands, and a lot of those demands involved Nina’s money. She seemed to see Nina as some kind of unlimited resource. She openly expected Nina to contribute significantly to the wedding costs, often saying things like, “She’s got the money,” with a rather entitled smirk on her face. I tried to tell Josh this was not a good look, but he seemed blinded by love (or something else).

Nina, bless her heart, didn’t hesitate. She offered to cover half of the wedding expenses, a truly generous offer considering she wasn’t obligated to do so. She even went as far as to offer to help Josh and Tiffany with a down payment on a house. I thought this was incredibly kind and generous. The wedding planning continued, and everything seemed to be going smoothly on the surface, but undercurrents of tension were definitely brewing. Tiffany’s entitled attitude was becoming more and more apparent, and I could see the strain it was putting on Nina, despite her best efforts to remain positive and supportive.
Then came the slap in the face, the moment that made my blood boil. About a week before the wedding, Tiffany announced that she was cutting Nina from the guest list. Her reasoning? To make room for an old friend who had suddenly decided to attend. I was shocked and appalled. How could she do that to Nina after everything she had done for them? The wedding was next week, and Nina was basically told, “You don’t make the cut.” It was unbelievably cold.
I confronted Tiffany immediately. I asked her how she could possibly justify such a cruel act. Her response? A sneer and a statement that will forever be etched in my memory: “She’s not exactly my family. And paying for the wedding doesn’t make her a VIP.” I was speechless. The audacity, the sheer lack of gratitude, was astounding. To treat someone who had been so incredibly generous with such disdain was beyond comprehension.
I immediately went to Nina, my heart heavy with dread. I didn’t know how she would react to such a blatant display of disrespect. I braced myself for tears, for anger, for a complete emotional breakdown. But Nina, being the strong, composed woman she is, surprised me. When I told her what Tiffany had said, she didn’t yell, she didn’t cry, she just calmly said, “Okay.”
But that’s not the end of the story. The wedding is this weekend, and I can’t help but feel like something drastic needs to happen. I’m torn between supporting my son and standing up for my daughter, who has always been the rock of our family. I don’t know what to do. I guess we will have to see. But one thing is for sure: [ “THIS DRAMA IS UNREAL” ].
