I was 26 when my mom cornered me at my sister's baby shower last month, sobbing about how unfair it was that she'd never met my two-year-old daughter. She kept saying she'd made one mistake and that I was cruel for keeping her only grandchild away from her. She begged me to tell her what she could do to fix things and why I was punishing her so harshly.

I finally told her exactly why she'd never see my daughter.

It wasn't just one mistake. It was what she did at my wedding three years ago that showed me who she really was.

My mom had always hated my wife Sarah. She thought Sarah wasn't good enough for me because she came from a working-class family. But I thought she'd gotten over it when she offered to help plan the wedding.

Two weeks before the wedding, my mom called Sarah's parents and told them the wedding was canceled. She said I'd changed my mind and didn't want to marry their daughter. Sarah's mom called her crying, and Sarah called me in tears thinking I'd gotten cold feet.

But that wasn't even the worst part.

The night before my wedding, my mom called the venue and tried to cancel our reception. When that didn't work, she called our caterer and told them we couldn't pay, so they should cancel our food order. She called our photographer and said the wedding was off. She even called our DJ and told him not to show up.

I only found out because the venue manager called me at 11 PM asking for confirmation about the cancellation.

I spent my entire wedding morning on the phone trying to fix everything my mom had sabotaged. Sarah was getting ready while I was frantically calling vendors, begging them to still show up. Half our food didn't arrive because the caterer had already given our order to someone else.

But she still wasn't done.

During my wedding ceremony, my mom stood up right as the officiant asked if anyone objected. She said Sarah was only marrying me for money and that I was making the biggest mistake of my life. She said Sarah had been cheating on me with her ex-boyfriend and that she had proof.

Security had to escort her out while she was screaming that Sarah was a gold-digger who would ruin my life.

None of it was true. She'd made up the cheating story and hired a private investigator to follow Sarah, hoping to find dirt on her. When she couldn't find anything, she just decided to lie.

My mom tried to interrupt, saying she was just trying to protect me. But I reminded her that protection doesn't look like sabotage and public humiliation.

I told her how Sarah cried herself to sleep for months because she felt like she'd ruined my relationship with my family. How Sarah's parents almost didn't come to the wedding because they were so embarrassed. How our wedding photos are ruined because half the vendors didn't show up and we had to scramble for everything.

The worst part was that she tried to turn my entire family against Sarah. She told my aunts and uncles that Sarah was controlling and manipulative. She spread rumors at family gatherings that Sarah was trying to isolate me from my family. She even told my grandparents that Sarah was preventing me from visiting them.

Sarah stopped coming to family events because my mom would make snide comments and create drama every single time.

My mom started crying, saying she just wanted what was best for me. But I told her that someone who tries to destroy your wedding doesn't get to meet your children.

I explained that Sarah and I decided our daughter would never be exposed to that kind of toxicity and manipulation. We'd seen how my mom treated the woman I loved, and we knew she'd do the same thing to our child if we gave her the chance. We weren't going to let our daughter grow up thinking that kind of behavior was normal or acceptable.

She got desperate and said she'd changed, that she loved Sarah now and just wanted to be a grandmother. But I told her that you don't get to destroy someone's wedding and then play loving grandmother later.
