UPDATED: My Twin Sister Can't Accept That Our Dying Dad Disowned & Wont Forgive Her For What She Did

Backstory: My family used to be really close but that changed in 2003 when my dad (55M) discovered that my mom (54F) was having an affair with John(54M) my dad's childhood best friend (he was basically his brother back then and he was my dad's best man in his wedding with mom). He begged her to stay and work things out but my mom ended up leaving him for John and eventually they got a divorce and my mom ended up marrying John 5 months later.

My twin sister Sarah(27F) was always the stereotypical ''daddy's girl'', dad spoiled her a bit more than the rest of us and she was basically his shadow back then and that's why was really surprising to us that Sarah choose to stay with our mom after the divorce.

Story 1:
UPDATE: My dad disowned my sister and he is dying, how do I convince her to let him go?
Story 2:
I (37M) have a biological child who I've never seen (17F) wanting to make contact which I don't want but my family does. What should I do here?

If John had a shred of humanity he'd have declined walking her down the aisle so his friend and her bio-dad would be the only one to do it. He took his wife and his daughter. He couldn't even give him that symbolic gesture? What a POS.

[abdulevans]

The nerve of his ex wife and his best friend to show up at his funeral.

[aljones]

I just realized that nowhere did the OP say that Sarah expressed any regret or remorse for choosing John, just sadness and regret that she wasn’t allowed to reconnect with her father before he passed.

[Marryjanesbud]

BIG Respect to the uncles for kicking out John & the Ex from the funeral. That’s true brotherly love. No way they didn’t leave feeling ashamed.

[crushingzero]

He was betrayed by the two women he loved the most in his entire life. I can't believe she did not care at all about what she did to him.

[nonono]

Maybe I'm just not mature enough for this, but I don't feel bad about Sarah's guilt at all. She chose the homewrecker, she can wallow in guilt forever.

Your Dad has already taught you what you need to be a great parent. Just trust that!

[michaelwoods]

She had a breakdown because she knew what she did was wrong. She destroyed her relationship with the best man in her life. Horrible!

[rnmo]

I really feel for op's father he got betrayed by his wife, friend, and only daughter and she did it multiple times.

[joshuacalig]

Your mom took ten years off his life and your sister took ten more.

[soufside]

*His childhood best friend, basically his brother, and he was the best man at their wedding.* Still can't get over that shit.

[everydayperson]

Poor bloke. That cancer treated him better than his daughter, ex wife ever did.

[jemase]

Twin sister was a real AH. Consequences can hurt, but sometimes they are deserved.

[Catherine.Dorian.]

She waited a day before the wedding so that he couldn’t take back the blank check. She is a huge user especially with how she made it like she was forced to change her dream from surgeon to lawyer...

[nexuseagles]

The father gave so much and instead of getting the one thing he wanted, she stabbed him in the back. He paid for the wedding and just wanted to walk her down the aisle. She gave it to a guy who stole his wife and destroyed his family. You know heartbreaking that is too hear!? Honestly I don't think he should have left her a dime! He was her father and betrayed him. I hope this haunts op's sister until her last breath.

[RomTheVacuumedSpider]

The moral of the story is: Sarah deserves every ounce of pain she feels.

[joyphillips]

Every time Sarah looks at her wedding photos she's going to be reminded of what she did to her dad.

[rickrollrizal]

The dad is a saint. He still gave inheritances to sarah and her kids.

[itsjustagltch]

The fact that OP in the first story is so worried about being a good father like his dad shows that he really cares and will probably make a great dad
