“NTA It sounds like their reaction to your engagement was the final straw and not the whole reason to not invite them. I’m guessing that your parents, time and again, have put your sister and her issues above you. They probably think that you are doing well and that you don’t need the attention, but (most) everyone needs their parents at times, even if its a need for their parents to celebrate the good with them.

I do think you would benefit from therapy and am happy to see your update that you are willing to seek out a therapist. ‍♀️ I would suggest that you also consider how you will feel down the road if your parents aren’t at your wedding. Will you look back on the day with sadness that they weren’t there, or is it something that you truly think you will be fine with? Either way, even if you did relent and end up inviting them, I would make sure they know that your sister isn’t welcome because she will try to upstage you some way.”
