la mere: so am I preventing your marriage by refusing to meet his parents?
me: ummmm....
la mere: I guess, I just don't understand people wanting to control others. It is just so (dramatic pause) alien to me. I just don't get it.
me: hrmmm (a strangled sound a la Hugh Grant in sense)

Tonight she asked me if I'd go with her instead of Dad going with her. I stared at her for a moment in horror, but then said yes since she also posited the idea that if they pushed her buttons she might snap and tell them everything, so if I were there I could prevent that!! Heaven forbid she, I dunno, behave herself.
La Mere thinks you are "very upset" Dodie. And was all like "well, obviously she is very upset about this. they are just so controlling. But I can't refuse to go because I can't ruin everything for her. blah blah blah" at which point I tuned out. Just like I do when she starts talking to the schitzos unnecessarily while on the phone with me. le sigh.
i appreciate your self-sacrifice esmee...
