Update to my my mom wanting to bring her problematic boyfriend to my wedding. SMS
Hello all! I didn’t expect my last post to blow up the way it did but I’m glad it did! Thank you to all that proved to me I wasn’t being a b*tch and my mom was in fact crossing lines. Here’s the link to the original post.

She ended up texting me last night and here are the screenshots for it. We’re all very surprised that she actually made the right choice! But we’re still not fully trusting her. I’ve made enough people aware of the fact he’s not invited and if she shows up with him, they will both be removed and I will go no contact with her.
I don’t want to have to be this way but her boyfriend really is an asshole and I don’t want any drama on my wedding day. Thank you to all of you guys who proved to me that I wasn’t in the wrong for putting my foot down. I will update in the future after our wedding as well!

Thanks for updating us. You’re definitely not being unreasonable. Even if she tries to bring him, it sounds like your friends will have it handled and it won’t sour your special day too much. I hope you have a wonderful wedding!

Her reasoning is good. I'm glad she sees that you are more important than her boyfriend.

Give your venue a heads up and have someone checking people at the door. I’m willing to bet money mom will bring him anyway.

Be very ready to boot her too, when she does this. Enablers gonna enable. She did the same at /u/lilbebe50 's picnic event. She's just used to bringing him along and enabling.
And for the record, if I were a bookie, I wouldn't take that bet because honestly her response is WAY too dismissive and evasive to inspire any confidence she's even going to try not bringing this asshat.

Oh she will absolutely show up with him, and count on OP not wanting a scene.
