Mother doesn't always know best!

Well it's April of 1994 and am headed to the Pacific Northwest to visit my mother from sunny Southern California.  Mom has this gentleman she wants me to meet (we will just call him Martin).  Martin and my mom work together and she is very fond of him and thought we would be a good fit and wanted us to meet.  I hesitated at first because I just got out of a marriage from my high school sweetheart.  Well I met Martin and we both hit it off right away.  We met in May of 1994 and married the following summer of 1995.  We had a Catholic wedding with about 150 guest.  Martin later told me that he did this to please his mother.  We didn't want a huge wedding we had other plans for our funds.

From the beginning Martin's mother and sister were very hard to get along with or please; this lasted through out our marriage and until this day they still have a hold on Martin which is completely unhealthy.  Sad to say now they have a hold on my children as well.


Martin and I were happy for the first couple of years of our marriage then his demanding mother started taking a tole on us.  She lives on the other side of the state and it still wasn't far enough away for me.

I wish now my mother would of married Martin and not me!
