My aunt has been a story teller since before I was born. She starts lies to get attention and make the family crazy and fight. And before I was born she went around saying my grandfather (her father) raped her. Which I do not believe (because according to her-she was raped by her brother her grandfather and father and my father raped me). But this is my mothers sister and my mother is unable to forgive her or let go of the fact that her sister has made up these lies about her dad and my father and its eating my mother alive because now my grandfather is dieing of alzheimers disease and my aunt will not tell the family she lied. Now that my grandfather is dieing my aunt says she can't remember who raped her. And my mom crys almost every night wanting her sister to clear her dads name and my aunt won't do it. How do I help my mom??

Is your question whether to invite her to your wedding? This is the wedding section. So, no, dno't invite her to your wedding.
If you accidentally put this in the wedding section (we all make mistakes! ), then urge your mother to seek professional counseling. It's not healthy for her to take on the weight of someone else's accusations (whether they are true or not). You can't do anything for her and to put this on your shoulders is just too much. Please, beg her to get in and talk with someone.

Talk to your mom about your aunts behavior. If she has always been a liar then she really shouldn't put much energy into what her sister has said. Your aunt more than likely has a disease and cannot control herself in the lies. Unfortunately it does hurt those around her. Perhaps your mom could take her to a doctor to get checked out. Most importantly be there to support your mom as I bet this has to be extremely hard to go through.
Good luck!

okay, well this is posted in the wrong area because this has nothing to do with weddings, HOWEVER, I don't blame your mom for not letting go. I have problem people like that in my family and I have distanced myself from them over the years on purpose. I want nothing to do with them and I can't blame your mom for not wanting anything to do with your aunt.

There's not really much you can do to help your mother..Except keep any little children away from whom or whoever is likely to take advantage of them.
