Issues with sister-in-law.

I have a sister-in-law who has had problems with my family since before she married my brother. The hate began when she was still my brother's girlfriend and she wanted him to marry her when they were 16 and 17, but my parents begged him to wait until after college. My brother ended up listening to our parents and backed out of the wedding. Later that day his gf came to the house to say she would never forgive us and that she was going to get us back. Anyway, she got pregnant later so she got her wedding and there began the reign of terror.

She has basically punished my parents ever since that day and has generally made everybody miserable. Apparently she is bi-polar but does not take meds and that is one of her excuses for her behavior. Personally I think she is a borderline personality but I'm not a professional so who knows. Anyway, my parents want nothing to do with her now and have no communication with her after one final blow up in the years of blow ups. She has picked fights with everybody else in my family too and they've all distanced themselves from my brother and her because of her aggression. I was not around for any of that drama so I stayed out of it, but basically I am the only one who still comes around.

I have had my own issues with my sister-in-law though because of how she has treated my brother including her lies, sleeping with other men and her lack of remorse for hitting him in the face. My brother has chosen to forgive her and I have always supported him in whatever he does even though I wish he divorced her.

I know she is bi-polar and doesn't take her meds so I try to be understanding but this chick is killing me. My dilemma is that I'm getting married and I don't want her there. I have always kept my mouth shut no matter what she has said because I want to keep the peace, but the thought of her torturing my brother at my wedding really distresses me. I actually just want nothing to do with her but I don't know how to say that to my brother. Am I asking too much if I ask my brother to leave her at home? He says he knows that she has been a pain in the past but he wants us all to forgive and get along. I just want a happy wedding with my brother as my "best person" because he has always been my best friend.
