Alright, I have a problem. My fiance's brother is getting married in October. Im not a social person, I dont go to wedding's, birthdays, anything like that. Im terrified of people I don't know, large crowds and things of that nature.
Another thing that is making it harder for me to deal with is; my fiance's other brother and his other half will be there, and we arent getting along with him or her at all. We don't speak and we hate the sight of each other, and seeing as we are 'family' we will all have to sit at the same table. Situations like this make me feel ill, Im not good with handling stress. Our daughter will be there, and I dont want her to be near the brothers other half because she told my daughter that I was a drunk.
Its a terrible situation, and I dont know what to do!! HELP!!

hi! it would be good to be with your future family but i know how stressful it can be when you are not comfortable with the company of "certain" people no matter how important they are in your life.
here's what... you can still attend your fiancee's brother's wedding and then leave immediately afterwards so that you don't have to sit with his other brother and his wife.
that way you can be as supportive to your fiancee by being at the wedding of his brother, and yet you are also finding a solution not to interact with "undesirable" people. just make sure that when you miss the reception, you have "other important things" to do. and it has to be real, true and believable. otherwise it is futile to lie and just tell the truth to your fiancee why you don't like to participate in the event.
goodluck whichever ways. :)
