Welcome women of the internet. Feeling disrespected is an infuriating and difficult feeling to deal with. From the anger and frustration that comes with disrespect, it would be bad enough on a personal level, and even worse when it's in public. 

The conjunction of public humiliation and being at your sister's wedding is a double whammy of disaster. It's supposed to be a day of joy, happiness, and good vibes. To be slandered in this way while your guard is down, just enjoying yourself and eating cake, is even more humiliating. The ins and outs of emotion from an experience as jarring and distressing as this one can spiral someone to a very bad place. Feeling out of control and helpless as to know what to do in the situation is the cherry on top of the bad vibes. At least she did the right thing and walked away when things got weird. Read the full story for yourself to see.

    127F was a bridesmaid at my older sister's wedding last week. The wedding was beautiful and everything seemed perfect until the reception. During the reception the maid of honor who has been my sister's best friend since childhood gave her speech. it was emotional and all but then she made a joke about how I was the family screw up who finally

    For context I've had a rough few years. I struggled with my mental health and dropped out of college for a while. I've since gotten my life back on track but it's still a sensitive topic for me. Hearing that joke in front of all our family and friends wasn't funny at all. My sister's best friend and I never really got along but still I never expected

    something like this from her. Especially the day wasn't about me at all then why bring me up in the speech?

    I tried to stay composed but I felt the tears coming so I quietly left the reception and went outside to collect myself. My sister followed me out and asked what was wrong. When I told her she said it was just a joke and she meant nothing bad. I tried to go back inside but I just couldn't and I ended up leaving the wedding

    back inside but I just couldn't and I ended up leaving the wedding early. My parents understand why I was upset but my sister is angry with me. I do feel terrible for leaving but I also feel like I had the right to feel hurt and humiliated.

    Edit: I said nothing at the moment because I didn't want to cause a scene on my sister's special day. And I can't reason with her right now because she will just ask me if I haven't been taking my meds lately, that's what she does when she's angry with me so I'm giving her some time to maybe realize how her best friend's joke was out of line.

    Edit 2: someone asked me if my sister's best friend and I argued before/did I give her a reason to do this. My sister's best friend and I never went past Hi. She told me before (few years ago) that she "in general" doesn't feel comfortable around someone struggling mentally because in her head God only knows what

    Zakal74 13d ago NTA, and I'm sorry you had to go through that. Mocking someone's mental health is in any circumstance, but in front of their whole group of family and friends? Just despicable. "She will just ask me if I've been skipping on my meds." Your
