Believe me, my mom will not attend them even if I asked. She literally does not believe I am lesbian and still tries to pressure me into liking guys. It's really frustrating and annoying but I'm coping. I'm staying out of her way. However, I will not deny my feelings for my fiancee. I love, adore, and truly want to marry her and I will. My mom will eventually have to come to terms and accept it.
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it.

Keep in mind that you have done NOTHING wrong, and give your Mom a bit of time to get over herself and her prejudices. Try to avoid getting sucked into any drama; you don't have anything to explain to anyone about your sexuality.
There are several groups that you could suggest your Mom join - is there a PFLAG chapter near where you live? They also have lots of information for parents of young LGBT youth, so that you don't have to explain all this stuff to your Mom. Rely on these resources, they exist to make your path a little bit less treacherous.
Keep us posted!!
