Father's Day

Jessica

Well, I am an only child to my parents. Now my mother has 2 other children with my step father and my dad has no other bio kids, just 3 step sons. Well I'm feeling like my dad's step kid. It's been a struggle since he married my step mom. I was never allowed to go anywhere alone with my dad. Thr O ly thing was when he would bring me back to my mom, and even then half the time she or one of her kids would go. I remember running and and telling her dad and I were going to home Depot. She called my dad in and had a fit, one of her kids HAD to go. Not cool. Fast forward 15 years. I'm getting married!! I wanted my father and step father to walk me down the aisle, after all my step dad was always there for me no matter what, you k of taking care of my dad's respoibility because he pi ked up 3 more kids. Well my step dad was delighted of thr idea. My father, oh hell no. He wouldn't do it. I ended up asking my brother to walk me down. The aisle. 4 years later sitting at my brothers wedding. My dad comes up and tells me that my brothers new wife asked him to do the daddy daughter dance because her dad needed to leave. Now, I would expect nothing less from the father of the groom, my heart was just broken because of how I have been treated by my dad. I've always felt like an outsider with them and on her wedding day, thr bride made some snide comments to me, not a fan but those two asses are made for each other.

OK so last weekend I call my dad about father's day. I was going to invite him and my step brothers out for brunch. He said it's father's day so I'm going to veto leaving thr house, can you come here? SURE! so noon on father's day. Great. I have to see my FIL as well. Perfect. Well Thursday my older brother texts me asking if I mind if we do the BBQ at his house! Wtf. My dad is 45 mins from me and he is at least another 20. What happened to dad not wanting to leave on father's day?? I honestly just feel like i should just plan stuff to do with my dad and step mom without them. Idk what to do. My heart is heart broken. I can't go to my brothers because now it has to be pushed to 4 and that doesn't work for me. I don't know what to do. I expressed my frustration with my step mom and all she said was yeah baby I know I know. Shut up. You have no fucking idea what chaos you have caused in my life.

END RANT.
