I am holding my baby's Christening soon at my MIL's house.I have invited about 30 people which include my own mother and father.My mom is very upset that I invited my dad because he used to physically abuse her when they were married.They were married for 20 years,but have been divorced for 15 years.In the last 15 years,he has since been over to her house on some holidays to see me and my sisters,also he has come over to fix things around the house,and also gave her money (when he wasn't legally obligated to).
The thing is,for the past 3 years my mom has been on disability,unable to work,because her back is so screwed up.From what she has told me and I guess also indicated from the doctors, it is due to trauma to the back. Basically,it's my dad's fault she's on disabilty and she's in constant chronic pain.
My mom said that she cannot bare to be in the same room with him anymore since he did this to her.I don't want to choose between my dad and mom.Do I have to? Am I selfish? HELP!
