    Well done GlasweJen for managing to hold yourself together through all of this. You're doing great. Maybe once the excitement and drama of the wedding is over you'll have some space to think about different ways to manage your mum in the future. I think we all hope that given the significance of the major life event you're about to undertake, she might have been more reasonable. I can understand why your OH pushed you to involve her in table planning. But you know her better. It's all learning eh?

    Also, can anyone point me in the direction of the support for people with narc mothers thread? Sounds right up my street. :D
    If you know you have enough, you're rich. ;)

    Sorry you have such a !!!! mother!! I've found a great place to vent about MIL's and Mothers is the reddit forum. Reading some of these stories is amazing that a woman can act like that!! If you post your story there, you'll get tonnes of help. https://www.reddit.com/r/JUSTNOMIL/
