I loved The Scarlett Letter in high school. I remember reading it and feeling so angry at the towns' people for making Hester wear the letter "A" for adulterer.
I posted ages ago about how my partner had posted on facebook about his addiction and came out about it. I also mentioned the terrible reaction people had toward me.
My partner's dad and I made amends because I had written a letter and read it to him months ago. My partner's mother is still being very unfair. She still thinks I wrote that post and says she likes me but doesn't trust me. That really hurts. She also said that her whole side of the family had been talking about it. My partner isn't sure if what she is saying is true, or if she is trying to put blame on the other family members.
This weekend on Saturday his mom's brother is having a surprise birthday party. We have to go. I am really scared. The last family get together we had with them was in the winter, and one of his aunts made me take the family photo (which hurt!) and I felt very unwelcomed.
His mom wants us to meet at her house and go with her, but she hasn't even apologized for accusing me of screening his phone (back in December) and she also treated my partner like a child and was going to get him a new phone and all this stuff.

That post is exactly how the conversations went with her.
She is very dismissive, avoidant. My partner's parents are divorced and have been since he was around 10 or 12.
I just feel like his mom hates me and I have no idea if she will show it, or if any other family member will show it (not in a public way, but in their attitude or looks towards me).
I am really anxious about going, and we have to go, I just feel like I have a Scarlett Letter on me because of my partner's post. Any advice??
Also! My partner last week when talking to his mom on the phone mentioned marriage. The mom was talking about how her side of the family wanted there to be weddings for their kids soon, and so my partner said, "There is going to be a wedding soon." His mom said, "Oh really? You better get your finances together."
I think she is really upset that he wants to marry me too. I talked to him about how wonderful it would be when he proposed and we would celebrate and all, but I told him I was also really scared of us taking that step because I really don't want people to attack me again (whether behind my back or to my face). I just hate that his mom (and possibly her side of the family) have been talking about his addiction and me in a bad way.
