I'm in my 20s. Recently my mum told me very last minute that I have been invited to a very very distant family member's wedding. I have only ever met the bride 3/4 times. My parents have fallen out with many family members which makes social gatherings incredibly awkward as we are often ignored by extended family.
I have carved out my own lovely life (children and husband) and don't feel the need to put myself in uncomfortable situations. My mother is "forcing" me to go and manipulating me emotionally. AIBU to not attend? The wedding is next month.
