My mom over the past year as been continuing with verbal abuse. I don't feel like going in to the details. It's affecting my own mental health been going on for some time. It's affecting my relationship with my fiancé. I just feel torn, but my mom doesn't want the wedding to happen. I just don't know if I should invite her to the wedding. Any feedback be appreciated.

Also trying to get back on my feet and establish myself. Almost 28 moved back home when I was 27 after losing my job. In school right now. Probably be a year left in school after the wedding. My fiancé and her mom said that I should move in with them till we both become established. Probably looking at a year at most no more then 2. We pay the mom rent and kind of have our own apartment upatairs. Is this a strange thing? I feel be a burden upon the mom.

Again appreciate the feedback.

IF your mom seems dead set to disrupt the ceremony and is against the wedding in general, I would definitely say to drop her from the invite list. You are old enough to make your own life decisions, so if she is not in agreement with your choices and will not support you, then you must decide if you want to include her and her drama in your life.

If she were only upset and "grudgingly" accepting your decision, I would say to suffer through her lack of approval with hope of future reconciliation. Since she is actively against your decision and is working against you, then I say leave her home.

Frankly its strange for any 28 year old 'man' to be living at his fiance's mom's house.

I wonder why your mom is so against the marriage; are you sure she doesn't have a valid reason?

How about finish school first, then go get your own place and become an independent adult before marrying? If I were your mother, and you were living with me and contemplating marriage after having gone back to school due to losing your job, and no apparent thought of where you two will live, I'd be against it too. I mean, as a parent, I didn't really expect to have my 28 year old son back living with me again, and I sure as heck don't want his "new wife" here with me.

I am probably not inviting my mother. I have stopped speakign to my father a while ago. It is your day, and you should be surrounded by people happy for you. Don't invite her if you have doubts.

Why is your mom against the marriage?

And why would a freshly married couple want to live with the other mom?

I would move in with the other mom, get on my feet, move out. Marry then.
