I’m (27f) a child of divorce. i don’t see either of my parents often, aside from holidays. i am engaged to a super sweet man (33m) we will call him B, and his family is large but very welcoming and open and they know holidays are hard for me being from a split family. My dad is the best and doesn’t expect me to spend time with him for holidays as he knows i’m trying to sort my life out and build my family. my mother however is…abrasive. She always expects me to drop everything and spend time with her, which i used to do. i used to do anything and everything for her and ever since i was 23(?) I’ve been trying to set boundaries and spending some of my time with B. She does NOT like that (i know, you’re surprised) and since then has thrown fits every single time i want to spend time with other people! B’s family asked me in early march if i wanted to spend easter with them. mind you, i spent thanksgiving with my mom and christmas with my dad. i haven’t seen this part of his family for a good year or so and so i told her that we’d be spending time with B’s family but i love her and im thankful for her invite, as well as letting her know that we’ll see her soon. her response to me was “yep.”

AITA for wanting to see my soon-to-be family instead of my mom? :/
