My fh family is boycotting our wedding

My wedding is in less than 6 months. In a heated discussion one evening between him and his cousin, she assaulted him. She has since spread vicious lies to the family about my involvement (I did not witness the altercation) and his older sister has decided not to attend our wedding. His brother is currently not speaking to him either and our guest list keeps shrinking. He is incredibly stressed and it has caused a lot of dents in our wedding planning. The family consensus appears to be that I have come between him and his family. I am trying my hardest to be there for him but I can’t honestly express my disdain for their behavior because it’s still his family.
Quick background: they never welcomed me and have commented that I came into his life with baggage (my children). Therefore, my interactions with them are very minimal.

    Unfortunately, all you can do is be supportive to your fiance through the situation. Its really his decision on how to handle them, and if he is fine moving forward without them present, then that's his choice. My first husband's sister didn't come to our wedding because she thought I was mean to her (all in her head), and we were both fine with that in the end, because we were happy with our decision.

    How does he react to them treating you poorly? I had an ex who stood up for me when his family referred to my son as baggage, but it was a contributing factor in why I ended things, because I did not want to be a part of a family that could refer to a child that way (they also said things like this in front of my son).

    I think if anything you need to have a convo with your FH, and it's something he has to handle with them. If he wants to move forward without them, that is his call, just be supportive either way.

    He was offended by the comments and expressed that to his family. Through the years he overlooked their treatment and thought I was overreacting and sensitive. This is the first time he’s stood up for us as a family. He’s offered to go to therapy with them in an attempt to find a resolution but they haven’t responded. Most of the communication is going through his mother.
