My father was absent for most of my childhood. I am the second oldest and he split when I was around 7 years olds. I have three other siblings ( my older brother, my younger brother and my youngest sister). Growing up everyone in the family hated him ( that includes me ) especially my mother and youngest sister.My mother was not the best parent, she would be very verbally cruel. My trust in her is also gone due to her lying habit.My father reached out to me when I turned 18 to get coffee. He apologized to me and wanted to fresh start. I was hesitant at the beginning but decided to forgive and move on. He reached out to the other kids when they turned 18 and they wanted nothing to do with him. ( that’s their choice and right) He did explain why he left my mother and I confirmed it with her.I am now 28 and I don’t regret it at all, he has been a huge help and support to me over the years. My relationship with my mother has been getting worse over the years, especially since she hates my husband to be ( she is very religious and he is not).This is my problem, I invited my dad to walk me down my wedding. I want him at my wedding and to be a part of it. My siblings and my mom are pissed.They told me that if I do this they will not come to my wedding. They want him uninvited form the wedding and that my mom should walk me down. I told them no. It resulted in an argument. I told them they need to get over it and I am not inviting him. They said they will not come and I told them that was fine.
