Should I invite him anyway
I haven’t had a good relationship with my father ever since him and my mom got married when I was six years old. He was in jail at the time for beating up his deaf girlfriend.... I was probably a couple of months old when he went to jail(I don’t know the exact story of their relationship. I just know that she met him at a club. So no idea when these events took place)
Anyway my mom would take me to go visit him when I was four or five. He wrote me letters so I’m thinking he’s all sweet and caring dad. Nope. When he got out of prison he was two sided. I remember meeting him when I was three before he went to jail again. It was the first time and I cried because I didn’t know him. Imagine going with a stranger you didn’t know at three years old almost four.
My mom and dad decided to get married when I was six so it was new. I couldn’t go dress up for Halloween anymore and god forbid I had a guy friend or else he’d get all preachy. I wasn’t allowed to hang out with my male cousins and their friends to play video games. I was made to sit in the living room with all the adults.
For a while my mom wasn’t telling anyone that my dad was being abusive towards her. This went on for years until she divorced him.
He likes to take credit for shit he didn’t do like help take care of us. I didn’t like that at all. He messaged me when I was a freshmen in college talking bullshit like a father knows when I know he looked on my sisters facebook. That’s the only way he knew where I was at. I’ve tried to connect with him
The last attempt was Father’s Day and I had breakfast with him and his girlfriend. He tried singing to me and that was really awkward. Then he tried telling me to read this book about the richest man and I’m sorry but I’m just going to work hard and find my own success. I had to block him because he went off on me. He mentioned that I should go to stock broker school and I asked a legitimate question because I didn’t have money for it. So I asked if he was going to pay for it since he was pushing it my way and kept saying I should.
He could’ve just said no but he went on a whole unnecessary rant then I just blocked him after he called me a bitch.
I’m wondering if I should invite him to my wedding but I don’t want him to make a big deal out of why he doesn’t get to walk me down the aisle. (Not getting married yet just need advice for when it does happen) im going to have my little brothers walk me down because we’ve been through a lot together and even though we fight we love each other dearly. My little brothers are the reason why I didn’t kill myself when I was fourteen because I was their older sister and they needed me. I’m not doing a father daughter dance So I don’t want my dad to make it all about him when that time comes.
