YOU SAY

I was interested in the letter from the woman who’s worried about her fiance’s stepdad ruining their wedding (Dear Coleen, November 27). My mother-in-law frequently spoiled family events, especially Christmas, and now my daughter has a mother-in-law who’s offensive and behaves even worse when she drinks.

My daughter would not have her at the wedding and a number of guests would not have gone if she had been there. I try to make allowances by thinking about the kind of childhood she must have had to behave like this. But it seems some people resent others being happy. I think your reader is right to make a stand over her fiance’s stepdad because he could ruin her special day entirely. Lynn, via email
