I’m so sorry gal. I think you have to ask yourself would the stress of her being there outweigh the potential emotions you may feel if you don’t invite her?
I’m sure you’ve already considered this and sadly there’s no right answer. I think if you do decide to invite her it would be really wise to either inform your wedding planner so they can mitigate any issues she may cause or a trusted friend who could do the same thing.
This!!!
If you think she will make a scene, then I wouldn’t invite her. Otherwise, I would. My husband’s mother is mentally ill and has delusions. Sometimes she responds to them out loud. She also wears layers of worn out clothes.
We were nervous about having her at our wedding, but she ended up doing great and even was able to walk down the aisle and do the mother son dance. I bought her a flowy top and skirt that she wore over her pants and shirt and we rolled with it! I think it meant a lot to her to be included and I know my husband was happy she is part of this memory.
We didn't invite my mother. Everything went perfect and I don't regret our decision at all. I was no contact for 10+ years at that point.
We never talked intimately until grew up. She never understood my emotional boundaries until recently but only somewhat. She’s been close w my cousin since I was born and my cousin has been caught saying nasty negative things about me yet my mom still is very close w her. Same w my oldest sister. It’s like a high school clique.
I’m not sure if I want to invite my mom. She’s grown somewhat but still she’s 64 and pretty much set in her ways. I just feel guilty because I also feel this is a day she should be apart of especially since my dad died (they’ve been divorced since I was 3 and I’m 32)
Pro
if you invite her will it be out of what you feel is moral obligation or because you truly want to celebrate with her? if the former definitely don’t invite her, if the latter only invite her if you feel that she won’t add additional stress to your day
