My mom wore my prom dress to her friends wedding. I feel upset that she did that even after I told her I was uncomfortable with her borrowing it.
I spent my own 300 dollars that I saved up for months and she wore it anyways. It was a big deal for me. She wore the same shoes I wore to prom and did the same hairstyle. It was weird and almost violating seeing the pictures. Mind you, we already look sooo alike. That dress holds sentimental value to me because I worked hard to get that dress that I wanted and so many fittings. I wanted to hold on to it for myself. Not for her to wear it to some casual wedding. Am I a biatch for this. I mean she wore the same exact things I wore to my own fucking prom. It’s like that was my day and she stole it for some random persons wedding to do what? Stand out? I think it’s very fucked up and weird. She has plenty of dresses she could’ve worn and I’ve even offered her other dresses from my closet that are nice for weddings.
She then proceeds to come home drunk and show me the pictures and then compare my prom pictures to her pictures at this wedding.
NTA. This is extremely fucked up and weird, but I imagine if you actually confront your mom about it it’s just going to feed into whatever fueled this and won’t help
It 100% would. She already has this victimizing manner so confrontation isn’t what I do with her. I kinda just work around what she does so it doesn’t happen again.
