Dear Conflicted: Your daughter’s wedding is her day, and her wishes should be the priority. Explain to your husband that the decision to exclude his sister is about ensuring a positive, stress-free event for your daughter, not about hurting anyone.

Dear Annie: I have a very toxic and narcissistic sister-in-law. Despite years of unpleasant family problems caused by her, my husband and his brother (her siblings) feel obligated to stay in contact with her. Now that their parents have passed away, I had hoped we could reduce this contact even further.

"How can I handle this situation while respecting my daughter’s wishes and avoiding unnecessary family drama?"
