My dad and step mom have been divorced for years. I’m still extremely close to my step mom though. She’s my bonus mom and love her beyond words. My dad remarried this year and today my step mom got remarried. I was supposed to go to the wedding today and I really wanted to. However, I am a foster for my local rescue. At the moment I have 23 foster kittens. I was up all night trying to save a kittens life from fading kitten syndrome (it’s like sudden infant death syndrome). No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t save her and she died this morning at about 2 and I went out and buried her in my yard. I then started throwing up and have awful diarrhea. I literally just shit my pants in front of my boyfriend about 30 minutes ago. To get to the wedding I would have had to drive for at least 2 hours with liquid shits and throwing up. I also don’t want to get anyone else sick.

I know my step mom will be sad I wasn’t there and probably mad, but I feel like I did what’s best. Her wedding was up on the mountain so she had no service for me to let her know I wouldn’t make it. I did still send her a text for when she gets home. I feel awful for missing the wedding, but I just did what I thought was best.

Do you think I’m a bad daughter for missing the wedding??
