Family Drama Before Our Wedding

Heres the situation...my fiance and i live in the city where his father and step mother live...now i moved here with him and had no one. So his step mom befriended me. She was great to talk to. Really great lady, and i trusted her with things from my past, both good and bad. Heres the situation...its now less than two months from stan and i`s wedding and she has made up all these awful things about me. She has said that ive spoken to her about stan and i`s bedroom relationship (which i never did, i dont even talk to my OWN mother about things like that) funny thing is, she is making up all these crazy things, like about toys and movies, if you get my drift...NONE of which is true. Stan knows its not true, cause, well, he lives the life with me, and we have not experimented with those sorts of things ever. So anyway, shes dragging us into this crazy world of lies that she has created, which of course, makes stan wonder ( a tiny bit ) if its all true. Which we both know is not, but where in the world would she come up with these things? a split personality perhaps? anyway, its just driving me crazy that its supposed to be our time to enjoy planning a wedding, but all thats been happening, is this drama that surrounds this woman. If theres no drama, she creates it. Also, one other thing happened that she is angry about...when we sent out invitations, one accidentally got sent to her brother, who is on her crap list one day and not the next...which also means, she was on the guest list, than crossed off, than written back on, than crossed off. I just couldnt keep up with who was on her ungrateful list, who was on her grateful list, and who was on her rapidly approaching grateful list. So the invitation got sent, and at that time, he was apparently back on her ungrateful list...so not only was she mad at me for all that, now she is making up all this other stuff. Its making life really difficult. We live only a mile from his father and step mother, which isnt the problem. The problem is that now we have no relationship with them. This is all so crazy,and completely unexpected. Help me! what do i say next week when we all meet up and "discuss" things...

You just described my step mother perfectly!!! She refused to help with the wedding what so ever then got angry at the wedding because she didn`t have a say in the way it all happened. Since then she has went to everyone I have built a loving relationship with and told alot of horrible twisted lies. Thank goodness everyone has pretty much figured out shes crazy. She met and married my father when I was 16 and we became fast friends. But shortly after I moved she grew horns. I have quit talking to her all together and I only get to talk to my father while he`s at work. He is no help in the matter either. I suggest that you deal with her only when you have to. Let your FH know how much you love him and try to talk to him about it. Don`t give her any basis to start a rumor. I know from my situation that dosen`t always work but at least wait until after the wedding to start a family fight.
