[quote=Anonymous]My sister is getting married this summer, and it is really brining out a lot of anger that I have towards my mom.  My mom is a very attention-seeking person, and always manages to make every family event about her -  by starting a fight, acting crazy, or just endlessly talking about herself.  For example, last year, at my dad's mother's funeral,  she was crying hysterically and throwing herself on the ground in grief when they were not even close at all.  At my sister's wedding shower, she trapped two of my sister's friends and talked nonstop for 30 minutes about a time that she tried pot in high school.  She stormed out of my wedding reception for 30 minutes because she was upset about a choice that the florist made.  The thing is, my mom has some good qualities as well.  She is kind to my daughters, and tries to be nice and helpful to me in smaller settings.  We are not super close, we get along fine one-on-one.  I just HATE this behavior and am angry that there can never be a family event focused on someone else.  Do I just need to forget about it and let my sister deal with it and try to ignore her behavior?  Is there anything I can say or do to control it or make it better?[/quote]
