Jealous mother of the bride

My Mom and Dad got divorced a couple years back after 35 years of marriage. My Dad is now re-married and my mom is extremely jealous. She continues to bring up conversations about who will escort her down the isle, who she will sit next to during the ceremony and who I will assign to her table during the reception. She doesn’t want my Dads wife to sit near her but she wants to be close to my siblings. How do I arrange all of this? My mother is so sensitive and often feels like everyone is against her. My siblings and I are FOR her but we also have to be cordial toward my Dad and his wife. I don’t want my Mom to be unhappy but i also don’t have time to make my special day all about her and what she wants! Am I being selfish?

You are not being selfish at all! I think I'd probably sit down with my mom and have a conversation. Tell her that you understand how she is feeling and will do your best to make sure she feels comfortable but that you cannot spend the day attending to her and her feelings. She needs to put that aside for the day and focus on you and experiencing this special day.

Thank you! I agree. I will definitely have a conversation with her. I hope she doesn’t act sad or bothered on my wedding day. I appreciate your input!

Hopefully you have enough family coming that you can do two family tables and distribute people throughout both so no one feels excluded. As for her other requests like who will escort her, I'd ask her what she wants, if you think she'll be very unhappy unless she gets her way. I hope it all works out and I'm sure everyone will be civil on the day out of respect and happiness for you
