Her Father Is Furious Because She Did Not Include Her Stepmom In Her Wedding Party

Watching your parents get divorced at a young age can be an extremely upsetting and confusing experience. And for this woman, the separation continues to affect her life to this day.
Her parents got divorced when she was just five years old after her mom found out her father was cheating.
Understandably, going to court, custody hearings, and watching her parents fight took a huge toll on the woman.
On top of that, her also dad moved in with the woman he had an affair with– Emma– during the divorce proceedings.
“I still remember how he introduced Emma to me and how messed up it was. He told me he loved Emma and wanted me to love Emma, too. He wanted me to let her be my mom and said she would be such a good one,” the woman recalled.
It was an extremely bizarre way to meet the person who came between her parents’ relationship– especially while watching her mom fall apart emotionally.
Nonetheless, the woman did spend equal amounts of time at her mom and dad’s homes following their separation.
Still, though, she had to live with hearing her dad constantly talk down on and criticize her mom.
On the other hand, the woman’s mom was actually much more understanding and considerate of her daughter’s personal feelings.

“She sat me down and told me that she and my dad did not like each other anymore. She and Emma also had problems. But, she told me I could feel however I wanted to and that she did not want me to dislike anyone for her sake,” the woman explained.
This reassurance helped the woman process the situation without feeling like her mom was expecting her to pick a side. Still, though, the woman’s father did.
For years, her father and Emma continued trying to make Emma the woman’s “new mother.”
And after Emma suffered a miscarriage which made her infertile, she wanted the woman to be her “daughter” more than ever.
“I think Emma held onto some hope that growing up would make me feel differently about her and that she would get to experience some of the more ‘fun mom stuff’ with me someday,” the woman said.
Nonetheless, by the time she turned twelve, the woman had enough of the forced relationship. So, she decided to primarily live with her mom.
Decades have since passed since all of this occurred, but the woman’s father and Emma never stopped hating her mother.
And now, since the woman is getting married, she has had to make some tough decisions.
She decided to do a mother-daughter dance instead of the traditional father-daughter dance. The woman also opted not to include Emma in the wedding party.
But, after telling her father, he and Emma were apparently infuriated.
“They believe I should have carved out a space for Emma in all of this. And that after her miscarriage, I should be trying to include her more. They think the lack of a special place for her makes me a jerk,” the woman revealed.
Now, she is at a loss about what to do. It is the woman’s big day, yet it is still being marred by family drama.
Do you think the woman has an obligation to her stepmom? How much should other people’s feelings matter on your wedding day?
