　　Dear Amy: My daughter was recently engaged to a wonderful young man. We love him like our own son. His mother, however, is an alcoholic.

　　My daughter has told me that when drunk (which is apparently often, if not daily) she is verbally abusive to her three children, telling them they are worthless, calling them horrible names, etc.

　　My daughter’s fiancé has distanced himself from his mother, but now a wedding is on the horizon. He has told my daughter that he does not want his mother there. At a recent bridal shower for his sister (which my daughter attended), his mother caused a drunken scene and yelled obscenities.

　　I understand my future son-in-law not wanting one of the most important days of his life ruined, and feel that it is his call to decide if he wants his mother present. How should they handle this? Should he handle it himself? Would it be horrible not to invite her?

　　She is still with her husband (he sounds like an enabler) and has been in and out of multiple rehabs, to no avail.
