At 70, I usually don’t bother with makeup or fancy dresses, but I wanted to look beautiful for my granddaughter’s wedding. I chose a lovely dress, styled my hair, and spent hours doing my makeup.
When I arrived, people were staring. My granddaughter pulled me aside, embarrassed, and said I looked ridiculous and needed to change. Feeling devastated, I left in tears.
Later, she called to apologize, admitting she’d overreacted due to wedding stress. She expressed regret, but the damage was done.
I’m not sure I’ll forgive her, feeling too ashamed to attend any family gatherings. The experience has left me deeply hurt and uncertain about the future.
The trauma of the event lingers, and I’m struggling to handle the emotions and the impact on my family relationships.
