My mom announced to us that she is marrying (for the third time) her roommate, they both happent o be fairly heavy drinkers and plan to wed in the local bar where she is a bartender.
My older brother and sister want nothing to do with the wedding or my mom and are both vowing to take no part in the wedding. My mother is hurt by this and just wants her kids to be happy for her. I cant seem to support my mom with out being stuck in the middle between their feuding.

I don't see why they would get so upset about their mom getting married in a bar, seeing as how she works there, so I'm guessing there's probably something deeper going on here. But this is going to be her special day, albeit untraditional. Maybe they could at least send a gift or a card, even if they don't want to be there. However, this may be the last time she gets married, and if they miss out on it, they might regret it in the future. You could always tell them all that you are doing what you feel is the right thing to do, and they should do the same, even if it is different. I think it would be sad if they missed it, though. Nothing should get in the way of love.

If she really cared about you and your siblings, she would listen to their reasons for not wanting to take part in the wedding and put her kids first. They just need to sit down and talk it out, just your mom and your siblings.

You know even if you all dont agree with what she is doing you can at least be there at the wedding. At least PRETEND to be happy for her. Talk to your older brother and sister.

Well if she really cared about her children, then she would listen to your concerns. She should not make you be stuck in the middle.
