"Depending on how big the wedding is, my first suggestion is that you talk to anybody but her. It sounds like she's feeding on the conflict, so if you don't give her an audience, she'll have to find something else to eat."
"The last time we were together, you said some things about [husband] and [child] that I didn't appreciate. You're entitled to your feelings, but I don't agree. I'd like to have a nice time tonight with you. Can we do that?"
"It's been more than 30 years since her marriage to your husband ended. She doesn't have to be over whatever is bothering her... Regardless, that conflict lives within her and between her and your husband."
"Your best bet is to draw a boundary and keep your distance."
