So, I'm going to vent a little, forgive me.
Growing up my mother emotionally and mentally abused me. She's a narcissist and a pathological liar and as soon as I graduated high school, she abandoned me to live on the east coast with her boyfriend at the time, and then eloped for military benefits.
Naturally, I didn't invite her to my wedding. Now my grandma's upset that I didn't invite her and even said she would send her invite to my mom. She wants me to live stream it instead, but I said no because it would be a pain with it being the venue I chose. I don't want her to succeed making my day about her. In fact, I think she's already succeeding making it about her just based on how much thought, emotion, and energy I've put into this. I love my grandparents so much and they are paying for our rehearsal dinner, but I don't know if that means they get a say in this or not? They also offered to live stream the wedding on their phone, but I'm don't know how that will work as they are both walking down the aisle.
I just don't have time to worry about this. They want to sit down and talk about this, but I'm a full-time student, a part-time employee AND my wedding is in 58 days! I wish they would stop worrying about it and let the relationship (or the lack of relationship) between me and my mom REMAIN between me and my mom.
On top of that, I have to figure out how to tell my dad that I asked my grandpa to walk me down the aisle.
I feel like there is just so much expectation placed on my shoulders and I'm going insane.
