I’d not tell her to wait. Does your mom not believe that you are being abused? Leaving your husband wouldn’t have to be a production or drama. But I understand if your mom is causing issues. When is the memorial?

Also are you afraid he’s leaving you first as he is possibly plotting this already? Just wonder
My mother is very consumed by her own concerns - she didn't want an entire upheaval of my marriage to occur just before the service, in thinking it will ruin the service, I get it. But at the same time, she clearly does not prioritize my well being. It's a whole story.

The memorial is next Sunday the 25th.

I am not afraid that he is plotting to leave. I really do not think he is.
