Our Dr. Miles Intervention this morning comes from a woman named Lauren, who is wondering if she should invite her mother to her wedding in November.
Lauren writes that her mother is a full-blown narcissist, whom she cut out of her life completely last April.
However, she's struggling to decide if she should still invite her to her upcoming wedding in November. She's struggling because she knows everyone will tell her that she would regret not having her mother at her wedding, but she knows that she would make the entire day about her.
Plus, Lauren writes that "she makes me sick to my stomach because she treats me terribly and makes me feel bad about myself and I just let it happen."
So Lauren is seeking advice. What should she do? She says that just in the last year she's gotten off her antidepressants, and has felt more joy in my life and is much stronger than she used to be, though she's still afraid that if she invites her to the wedding, and more importantly her life, she would just break her again.
