W then tried to proof her point by throwing and shattering a vase we were given as a gift for our wedding day that was signed by all our guest. We just baked it a few days ago so we could preserve the signature. She took it even further and went out to our living room and took a picture of us off our shelf and ripped it into pieces.
From this point on, OIN, by putting up with all of that and going ahead with the party, you just told her you "WILL be a doormat for her to talk all over," I'm afraid. Your speeches to her are great, but by putting up with her poor BEHAVIOR, you simply ENABLE it.
My jaw just dropped reading your post, when I saw that you went ahead with everything after what she pulled. Wow.
