[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, there's some weird hater on here giving you a hard time- ignore that person.

Here's my advice, though-  you say you have siblings.  Is it possible to assign someone to deal with her?  That is, have someone who sits with her, who runs interference, who prevents her from getting to you?

Is she this way to your siblings?  Is she different with you?  Is this just how she is and for whatever reason your siblings cope with it in different ways?

I have no experienced anything like what you have posted, so take my advice for what it's worth.  But for your family, maybe having her there (with several people in charge of keeping her away from you) might be worth it.  tYes, she'd be in some pictures.  But you can tell the photographer ahead of time about the issues and a skilled photographer will work to make her feel included while actually excluding her from some photos.

I had a tough experience with my MIL before the wedding.  Several of my husband's friends knew, and simply ran interference whenever she was headed my way - they'd swoop in and take her to dance or distract her.  It was awesome of them.  [/quote]

OP Here- My siblings are both in high school so I'd hate putting them in charge of something like that. My dad knows how I feel towards my mom so I could probably ask him to do his best to keep her away and keep her as "normal" as possible during our wedding. No, she's not like this with my siblings at all. My brother is her "baby" as it's her only boy so he can do no wrong in her eyes. My sister pretty much took the place of me and is the daughter she always wanted and she makes that very clear. My sister can also do no wrong in her eyes and gets away with everything. For example- when I was 17, I got my cartilage peirced (top part of my ear). When she saw it, she called me a whore and a bunch of other nasty names and let me know how trashy it was. When my sister turned 15, she wanted it done and my mom happily took her. When I was 16, I came home from the movies with eyeliner on and my mom literally dragged me to the bathroom and scrubbed my face. My sister has been wearing makeup since she was 13 and my mom constantly takes her to Sephora to stock up......so you can see where I am coming from?[/quote]

That your mom isn't perfect?  You seem incredibly judgemental.  [/quote]
