Hi. My son is getting married in a month's time. The thought of the wedding day has been causing me and my other child so much stress (pre the Coronavirus situation). This is because my ex-husband and father of my children will be present. He was violent (+++) to me when we were married and tried to kill me. He attempted to abduct my daughter when she was younger (she's now an adult). We are both in therapy and have moved on with our lives and I'm happily remarried but the thought of spending the day with my ex feels horrific to me. I have tried to put my feelings aside as my son idolises his father but it feels overwhelming and frightening.
Now, with the Coronavirus, how likely is it that this wedding will go ahead do you think? There will be a way over 150 guests, some elderly, some coming from abroad, some pregnant..... I think it won't be a good idea to go because of social distancing but I'm well aware that I really don't want to go so my judgment is skewed to say the least!
Any objective thoughts from you would be gratefully received. I want to stay safe; physically and emotionally, but also be a good mum.
Thank you in advance
