My stepson hated me so much for being with his father.

He sabotaged our wedding by grabbing the mic and telling everyone how vile of a person I was,

killed my cat, and then stabbed me. Here's what happened.

I'm a 39-year-old female and I'm married to my husband Dave who's 44 and he has a son named

Avery who's 19. His ex-wife is named Diana who's 42. Avery has always been hostile towards me

and blamed me for his parents divorced despite his dad not meeting me until three years after.

I have tried my best to spend time with Avery and I've been respectful of all the boundaries he

set with me. Avery still hates me. It was fine with me as long as he didn't treat me like

crap because he hates me. Well, Avery started treating me like crap when he found out his dad was

marrying me. He threw a fit saying his dad needed his permission before marrying me and that he

wouldn't come to the wedding. His dad and I let it slide and sat down with Avery and Diana to try

and figure out why he was upset. It didn't work and Avery refused to see us until the wedding.

At Dave and I's wedding, Avery objected to us being married in front of everyone and asked to

make a speech in front of everyone later on the night. In his speech, he told everyone what a

horrible person I was and that I was responsible for his parents divorced and that I was a dirty

home wrecker. Dave drove Avery back to Diana's but the damage was done and several wedding guests

assume Avery was telling the truth. My wedding night was ruined because of this.

And a good part of my family refuses to speak to me despite me explaining to them that this was

not the case. Avery has continued to treat me like crap since then. He got mad at me once so he

dropped my cat off at a shelter, two towns over and refused to tell me where he was until he'd been

put down. I wanted to keep my wedding dress after the wedding and he tore it to shreds.
