[quote=Anonymous]NP with a few thoughts. Your mom sounds like a narcissist. You need to develop strong boundaries. Cutting her off completely (the effect of excluding her from wedding) could damage or end the relationship with your dad. If you are ready for that, pay for the wedding yourself and don't invite her but if you don't want to risk that then invite her and your dad to wedding and tell dad to stick close to her and keep her away from you as much as possible. If your parents are still married and live together, she will influence your dad after the wedding and by not inviting her you'll be giving her fuel to start a fire with. It's not fair but you need to work with the hand you've been dealt.

Read about narcissistic mom's and learn what their weaknesses are and how to manage them. The usual strategies won't work because narcissistic people feed off the pain they cause. She'll continue to cause you pain by manipulating your dad if you cut her off completely, unless you actually learn how to handle her, a big part of which is establishing boundaries and not playing into their dramas.
