Well I seem to be having this big problem/dilemma/issue or whatever you want to call it. Next week is Halloween (which is not the problem as it's my favorite holiday) and my mother is getting remarried and I'm the maid of honor, the problem with this is, I CAN'T stand the guy she's marrying. At thanksgiving two years ago I screamed for the whole family to hear that I hated him. He was agruing with me about something and I just yelled it back at him.  ;D Felt damn good too.

Let me tell you a little about this asshole. Everything that comes out of his mouth is foul, he can't utter a single sentence with out the word fuck in it at least 7 times. Every other sentence he utters is an insult about my mother whether she's not around or is, there in which case he's saying it to her face. He held up a hunting knife to my sisters throat and told her her was going to cut her open with it just because she stuck her tongue out at him. He banned me from my mom's house because she lent me some money and then threw my things, that were still there until I found a bigger place, out into the street. And he once called the cops on me just because I walked in front of the house (on the opposite side) of the street!

Of course my mom just things all these things are either jokes or didn't happen.

I'm not the only one, pretty much my entire family hates this guy and has pretty much managed to alienate my mom from everyone.

I would love not to go but it's my mom. And even though she and I haven't always gotten along, she's still mom.

I'm probably going to have to get really wasted to make it through that night.

If I was you, I would worry about how to stop the wedding rather than whether or not to go...

It probably has happened many times but I think you should have a serious discussion with your mom...

Believe me I've been trying for a whole year. Actually for ten since it's been ten years that they've been together.

Oh, I believe you. I know how it is. Usually, the girl has a very low self-esteem and is dead scared of being alone so she's willing to deny everything just because he loves her. If she truly loves/loved him, then she also does not want to acknowledge she was wrong all along.

I assume that it was very tough for your mom when her and your dad break up, right?

Anyway, for the wedding, just go but make it clear you do that out of love for her and certainly not because you approve her choice. That is what I would do. (I would encourage the rest of the family to tell her the same thing. It might build up her self-esteem some.)

...

You love your mother, yes? Then take a stand a refuse to be the maid-of-honor. If your mother thinks it's a joke, she'll likely think twice at that point.

Call it a little tough love. Sometimes people are blind to the obvious. If this person is as bad as you describe, you owe it to your mother to make that stand. If you don't who will?

The question is, will it really help? Trust me, some people are very good at denying the truth when the reality is painful...

If you work, and make money. Get out of there. Otherwise, go to a friend's house. You need to leave this guy before your life gets screwed up. God knows what he might do to you or your family. Better yet, take your sister too.

I have my mother's husband (not my father, and no he is not my step father, step fathers = suck) living with us and well, the only thing he ever did was hit my mother on the shoulder because she tried to toss his porn tapes and beer away. By the time I heard that when I got back from work I pushed him and I was about to literally smash his face many times across everything I see. That's the only, first, and last time he has ever done it. So his other term was to bitch at us and what not but well, he can't do anything. For the past 6 to 7 months he only brings back about 200 to 400 dollars A MONTH! We know he brings back much more. I've been paying for the bills and what not. But well, guess what? The next apartment or house we're moving inside will be in my name for good and he won't be coming with us. That's the major plan.

And the last time I snapped at him was a week ago. My mother kept telling me about his drinking problem and him not paying and what not. So I've kinda had it and I smashed his door a bunch of times yelling. Only reason he's here is because he has a daughter, which is my half-sister. Well, she doesn't want us to kick him out. But I already told her he's not going to live with us unless he changes. Time is ticking and sooner or later he'll be all alone. But about me snapping, pretty much my brother tried to pull me back and I pulled him inside the bathroom and we had an argument because of him. I snapped after him coming out of his room and me going inside the bathroom to take a shower. Ohhhh really? Your a man now? Get lost. Only reason I'm stuck here is because of his nerdy little girl speeches he makes "BLAH BLAH BLAH" stfu tard. What's wrong with working and being positive and mature? No idea, no idea.

People who are like this really piss me off. Amature, tards, fucking assholes, and those who toss their kids away not caring for them. Inhuman bastards deserve the lowest possible rank in this life.

So if you don't work, get a job or two and move out of that house. Getting stuck with a man like that is a nightmare. Where do you live? Do you have friends that you could ask to move in?

Just FYI, money can't get you love or friends. But it does have a lot of power. Job and confidence, and your self-esteem are the only thing will get you out of there. Worst possible case is to call the cops on him.

With regards to my parents, I wouldn't know if it was hard for her. They got divocered when I was six monthes old. She was married before this one (when I was nine) but as far as that one went she was pretty happy when it was over.

And yes, this is what I've been telling her for the last year.

Though I was really close to breaking them up early last year. He'd said something about not caring about her kids and I had recorded it and she kicked him out, but then he came back with that blasted ring and all was forgiven...

@Tatsujin

I did live with a friend for pretty much the last year and I just recently moved from WI to WV to be with my fiancee. So I got away from him and my sister is coming but she wants to finish school up there.

Oh hmm, I read it wrong. I guess he is not your fiancee but your sister's ... well that's still wrong of him.

Out of respect I would go to the wedding, though in your position I wouldn't go to be the bridesmaid, not when you can't stand they guy she is marrying. Some things aren't worth it to do, like standing up there as a bridesmaid or maid of honor for a wedding you just can't support.
When Cookies become alcoholics the world has issues, oh wait that has already happened!
When I was growing up I wanted to become a queen, now that I did, I have to avoid brats chasing me with bats.
When the charm wears off, what do you have then?

I didn't go to my cousin's wedding due to him thinking his better than me. Tho' here's the main point; if you get in an argument or a fight with him, he will not apologize and the only way to fix it is for you to actually follow the man ... get it? yup.

I spent my entire life playing the groom for my mom and God,

now I just learned to be stoic.

In many ways, accepting the bridesmaid role will entail the least amount of trouble for you.

Yeah, not going would just hurt my mom and I can't do that. But I don't have to be happy about it. I'll go and stand there but it's only because I love her not because I approve.

There's nothing stoic about being a maid-of-honor for a wedding that you don't support. If anything, it would be far more destructive for you.

Impartiality implies lack of involvement in this case, which is clearly impossible unless you either intend to disregard her request or your heritage.

There is no way to salvage stoicism from this situation.

All these postal strikes are starting to bug me...

I know, they tick me off too.
