This past year, my parents have gone through a messy divorce and I no longer have communication with my mother. The problem is, my father is an only child and my mother comes from a huge family of 4 so all of my cousins (who I am extremely close with) on apart of her family.
The reason I dont speak to my mother is because the way she ended the relationship with my father was COMPLETELY opposite of the values and morals she raised us to so strongly believe in and she has become so lost in her own head I cannot even recognize her anymore.
Recently, my aunt (by marriage. She is married to my moms brother, already his 2nd marriage) had decided that divorce is ok (becuase she is on her 4th marriage) and she had decided to involve herself in my mothers new life (including her new "friend") and cause all sorts of drama within our family. No one approves of my mothers behavior and the majority of her siblings has stopped communications with her as well. So my question is this:
I love my uncle to death and he is ALWAYS the life of the party, but I feel so betrayed by him in the way he has let his wife essentially tear our family apart. I know there isnt possibly a way I can get around inviting just him.....or is there? I mean, I dont even want this woman at my bridal shower. The very sight of her turn my stomach as well. Please Help!!!!
And before anyone asks.....inviting my mother is NON-NEGOTIABLE! I understand this is an important day and I may regret it later (im stubborn so tis very doubtful) but the situation is just far too complicated and personal to begin to explain.
