<human>: Storytime: My mother has been decidedly un-mother-like throughout this entire process. Not really excited, not helpful, she barely cracked a smile at the dress fitting. I've dealt, because it's not like I expected Judy Cleaver all of a sudden.

However, I had my bridal shower last weekend. I'm not big on being doted on, but after some pushing from FH I was kind of liking the idea of having "a day just for me." I found out a few days before that my mom didn't even try to get the day off work (Sister confided in MoH in an attempt not to upset me). To top it off, when she showed up, 2.5hrs late as everyone was leaving, she was wearing a hijab (She recently converted to Islam; REALLY long story) The first thing she says is "So [my husband] threatened to kill me & I was at the FBI office yesterday." No "Hi honey" or "Sorry I'm late," immediately turns the attention on her (not that the hijab hadn't solidified that already). The whole bridal party was irritated/angry & I had to talk my MoH down from asking her just to leave. 

Her husband is from Mauritania but lives in Angola. They've been fighting on & off since he was deported last year. His threat was over the phone, and not 10 mins later he told her he loved her. They have a dysfunctional relationship at best. She is incredibly good at making drama where there isn't any, and claims to hate it, but thrives on being the center of attention. I'm just scared she's going to show up looking crazy, or do something to embarrass me, and it's making it hard for me to relax & enjoy this last bit of planning because I'm worried about her. :/

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Mother is a lunatic; Hoping I don't strangle her at the wedding. Looking for advice or just commiserate with other folks with insane parents.
