AITA For Not Allowing My Mother To Bring Her Boyfriend I Don't Know Or Want To Know To My Wedding?
--------
A 33-year-old individual faced a challenging situation regarding their upcoming wedding, specifically with their mother's request to bring her relatively new boyfriend. Having a strained relationship with their mother, who frequently changed partners, the individual had previously set boundaries to not discuss or be involved with her romantic life.

The mother, feeling excluded, especially since other family members were bringing their spouses, pleaded to bring her boyfriend to make her feel more comfortable. The individual initially refused, emphasizing their lack of desire to get to know someone who might soon be out of their life, given their mother's history of short-lived relationships.

After some contemplation and community advice, the individual decided to allow the boyfriend to attend the wedding under strict conditions: he would not be part of family photos, must not interact directly with them, and should not be referred to as a step-parent. This decision was an attempt to maintain peace and accommodate their mother's feelings.

However, the situation escalated when their mother's behavior became a greater concern, showing patterns of alcohol abuse and erratic behavior. This led to a painful decision to estrange themselves from their mother entirely, prompted by her disruptive actions and the individual's need for peace and stability as they moved forward with their marriage and life.

In the end, despite the drama, the wedding proceeded smoothly without the mother's presence. The individual felt relief and looked forward to a new chapter with their spouse, reflecting on the tumultuous relationship with their mother and the boundaries they needed to maintain for their own well-being.
