[QUOTE]Long story short, my cousin sexually harassed me when I was younger. My sister got married 2 years ago, and invited him. He came. He's about 7 yrs older than me. I don't know if I should invite him or not. My mom insists and will be mad at me if I don't, because I'm inviting his mom, who is my aunt. My mom is the only one who knows about the past. My fiance said I don't have to invite him if I don't want to, and he doesn't want him there, but my mom will be very upset with me, and will cause a lot of family drama if I don't invite him. Just suck it up and invite him?

<div>Sweetheart, do not invite this man to your wedding. Thank Heavens your FI agrees. He will back you up. And you know what? It is perfectly okay and appropriate to set boundaries with your mom and say, this is my wedding and me and my FI will invite whom we choose. I just think it is so wrong for him to be anywhere near you again...</div>
