I know my daughter thinks this is all my fault and she did nothing wrong.

I am raising a granddaughter. We went to visit her aunt and cousin and had a nice day until my granddaughter told her aunt she should let her 5-year-old pick out her own clothes.

I have thought for a couple of years that my daughter isn’t mentally healthy. I will not expose my granddaughter to her aunt again. I would, however, like to maintain a connection with this daughter because I want a relationship with the 5-year-old. I’m willing to let this event go. Is it improper to decline a wedding reception invitation just because you do not wish to attend? I have received a “save the date” postcard from a co-worker’s daughter for her wedding. I don’t know this girl or her fiance, and I’m not particularly close to her mother.
