Have MIL from hell (alcoholic narc). I have been NC since end of 2014 when our marriage was in deep trouble (DH had affair) and the last straw was that MIL was very overtly critical of me at this time. DH and I are now back together trying v hard to get thru this. It is v touch and go and I feel v vulnerable emotionally. She knew about the affair before I did and I expect her to continue to sneer at me - so keeping out of her way with NC.
DH still in contact doing the running around for her. SIL getting married v small intimate event (30 people) and I just cant face the thought of the tension, sneers and no doubt deluded dramas that I will endure on the day. I dont want this atmosphere created for my SIL on her wedding day either.
Do I just phone/write to SIL and explain honestly (she is well aware of MIL issues - but is actually a flying monkey) - or just decline saying I have a diary clash -- or just make up an excuse on the day (illness)? - DH and DCs will go.
