Bridesmaid Bails On The Wedding After Her Friend Who Is Getting Married Didn’t Show Up To Her Dad’s Funeral
One young woman has a friend from high school who is getting married soon, and she agreed to be a bridesmaid in her friend’s upcoming wedding.
When her friend who is getting married didn’t show up to her dad’s funeral after his death recently, she decided to bail on being a bridesmaid.
“I have a lot of issues and while I have caused a lot of them, some can root back to my dad,” she started out by explaining.
“I won’t get into things other than years of him comparing me to other girls, berating me and other actions have left a scar.”
“But when he passed it hurt like hell knowing I’d never get his approval. The last few days he was in hospice care, slowly dying and he still found ways to hurt my sister and me.”
Even though she had a terrible relationship with her dad, his death really impacted her and she didn’t feel like she was alright after his passing.
Now, her friend who is getting married has admitted to her previously that she just doesn’t get the relationship that she had with her dad.
She pointed out that her friend’s life has been very easy, so she thinks that’s a big part of the reason why her friend doesn’t get the pain she has experienced in her life.
The evening that her dad passed away, she called her friend who was getting married to tell her about it.

Her friend had no words for her, and then a few days afterward wanted to know if she was going to go shoe shopping with her for her wedding shoes.
She said she couldn’t make it to shop for the shoes anymore because she was grieving. She then forwarded the funeral info to her friend and said that she hoped she would be there.
“She sent me a thumbs up. I know she had the day off and expected her to at least stop in during visitation. She didn’t come and didn’t text me at all that day,” she continued.
Her friend that is getting married never showed up to her dad’s funeral though. She felt upset about it because she really thought she would be there for her.
Furthermore, her friend had attended recent funerals for people she didn’t know personally, like another friend’s stepmom and cousin.
A week after this lat exchange, her friend sent her a text asking if she wanted to still be in the wedding since she was quite behind on getting her bridesmaid dress and other things she needed to wear that day.
“I’ve been a basket case with reliving all the things he’s done to me, watching him die, planning a funeral, and thinking about how the diseases he had at the end of his life could be passed on to my sister and me,” she said about her dad.
She knows she has had not much patience for anyone, and her friend wasn’t an exception to that.
She essentially told her friend that because she was not there in her time of need, she was no longer going to be there for her.
She also told her friend she “can take her wedding and shove it.” Since that all went down, friends of her friend that is getting married and even the bride-to-be’s future husband have been sending her nonstop messages calling her selfish.
“As her boyfriend told me I have always expressed a dislike for my dad so his death shouldn’t be such a big deal and I’m using it for attention” she continued.

She does believe she should have picked better words for expressing herself, and she did try to apologize, but nobody is accepting it.
