So this is the way the invitation reads, and it's on fancy paper and it's calligraphy and everything.

It's from Alex and Alyssa wedding invitation to her parents.

And it says, together with our friends and families, Alex and Alyssa would like to invite you to

buzz off and bask in our happiness, your bitterness, and our mutual irritation at each other's

existence as we completely ignore yours and celebrate our marriage without you. There will be a

lovely ceremony followed by cake, food, and general merriment, and you are not invited to any of it, because we hate you, that's why. And she sent it. Now, this made it on Reddit.com. She was talking about how her parents are narcissistic and she hates them. And people said, you're a hero, you're awesome, way to go. Seriously, people applauded that. That's interesting.

Way to take a stand.

You really think she feels better now?

And it's interesting, while we ignore your existence,

and yet you're not ignoring their existence.

You took a lot of time and effort, actually.

To be bitter yourself, as you talk about their bitterness.

It doesn't work.

I mean, if you're angry with somebody, venting, it never works.

It's just, you can tell people, you feel angrier after you go off than you did beforehand.

And it's interesting, they followed up in a news article about this woman.

It's clear, her parents were offended, obviously, and fired back that, well, now we'll never reconcile.

And she's like, well, good, because I don't care.

It's like, clearly you care.

Clearly, this is a tragedy.

And maybe forgiveness someday might be best for everybody.
