Hi Ladies, I am looking for a little empathy out there. To put it bluntly, my mother is not well. She's never been well and made most of my family's life hell for way more than my 26 years on this planet, but she is my mother and I love her. To my own detriment, I have been trying to include her in the wedding planning and as usual, she is nothing but the opposite of helpful. I include her because there is that little silly girl inside that would like to be able to bond with her mother and include her knowing how happy it will make her. I am not looking for ways to deal with the situation, but instead that comfort of knowing someone else somewhere understands my situation. Is there anyone else struggling with a mentally ill mother and letting go of the dream to include her in the way she would like?Thanks,MEA
