I'm going to chime in and say you are not a bad person for boycotting the wedding, for many reasons (the most basic of which is lack common courtesy on the part of the people getting married). In this scenario your brother's death is irrelevant. I also agree that you have the right to keep your kids from him if you feel he's not suitable for them to be around. The end.

Relationships are two-way streets, give and take. I'm sensing a lot of take an no give on your mother's part. At some point, you have to be "selfish" (in the best sense of that word) and protect both you and yours.

Finally, there will always be people who hate you for no good reason. That's their deal, not yours.

About your grandmother...

You might want to find a graceful way of saying, "Yo, Grams, you might wanna have a lawyer check your will to make sure Mom can't let Asshat turn your farm into beer money."

She's got a touch of dementia, so I've got to go to my aunts. Sigh...
