My daughter’s getting married in the summer but she refuses to invite her brother, my son. In a nutshell we have all been estranged from him for many years and he’s only just come back into mine & my ex husband’s life. The estrangement was as a result of many years of verbal abuse from his wife who has also banned us from seeing our grandchildren. When my mother was alive she terrorised her with ‘anonymous’ phone calls which were constant. The only reason I didn’t involve the police was because I worried about my grandchildren witnessing this. My son now lives in a rented room as she got him thrown out by calling the police whenever they had an argument. However he appears to go back whenever she needs help with anything. The thing is should I tell him about the forthcoming wedding and admit that he won’t be invited or just keep quiet about the whole thing?
A better word than 'apologise'?
