[quote=Anonymous]OP here. The issue with my wedding was, I invited her thinking is regret that she wasn't there. Then she wrote me a letter and in the letter said she didn't know why I was upset to begin with but whatever it was she was sorry. I was so upset at the time because at that point (I was 24) there was still so much anger and I felt like something that was so huge in my life was completely forgettable to her. My father's family (they were long divorced and my father was deceased) was very involved in the wedding and there were some hurt feelings between them as well, and i just felt like I was going to spend what should be a happy day of celebration with lots of awkwardness and tension if she was there. So I said I would rather her not attend.

Also want to add, DH knows my mom because we have known each other through this whole time.

I am not angry about the whole thing. I'm just pretty ambivalent towards her. I agree with the pp that to me, at this point, she's like a distant relative. I've only met her husband twice to say hello.  Our email exchanges are totally superficial. Stuff I'd tell a neighbor.  I am also very close to my MIL whom I've know since I was 17. She has been there for me this while time so I do have that mom figure in my life.[/quote]
