Is this much drama even possible?

I guess so.

I never in my wildest dreams imagined this scenario: My sister-in-law has threatened to divorce my brother if he comes to my wedding and brings my nephew.

And what it boils down to? The whole thing started because I said the words, "Bobby, you can use my computer, but please use it in the bedroom." 

Would I change anything that has happened? No.

You know, I find myself in the shower, thinking about how in the world Leigh's mother got involved. I think about how my mom cried all Saturday morning because of things that were said to her. I think about what I would say if I could. 

Then, at church this morning, my pastor, having no knowledge of the situation, said "You know, if people keep coming in and bringing up stuff from the past, it's the Enemy, and you need to tell them to drop it, because you're living in the future." The fact that Leigh's mom sent my mom a 5 page e-mail bringing up things dating all the way back to May 2007, when Leigh and Bobby were married coincided perfectly.

So, that's it. In my heart, I know that there's a reason that all of this stuff has happened. I have apologized for what I have done that may have hurt others around me. There is nothing else I can do about the situation, but give it up to God. And if on April 18th, my brother isn't in attendance, it was God's will, and I will make the best of it. I think this is truly the first time I have felt peace about the situation, and it's okay. It really is. 

I've dealt with ridiculous situations like this in the past, and the more people say to each other, the stickier the situation gets. The more people are hurt by words and actions. I learned my lesson, and I won't do it again. This time, I'm cutting ties from the get go. Maybe in 2 years, we'll look back on this and laugh. Maybe we'll look back at all the hurt. Regardless, dwelling on the situation is pointless.
