Mom didn’t sound better, leaving him with his terrible dad

[chibalearns]

In the version I read Mum and stepdad moved abroad for mums job and didnt want to uproot OP life. They continued to keep in contact but OP never told her. OP' mum and stepdad would return to visit her and she said nothing. OP was feeling hurt and abandoned and didnt want her mum to feel she was an inconvenience like her dad so she said nothing.

After OP was kicked out she finally told her mum the truth and mum flew back 2 days later. They went to dad's house to get her stuff but dad had already binned everything. Mum had a big fight with dad and OP never spoke to dad.

After that OP moved in with a friend while mum and stepdad returned overseas, mum left her job and found one back in the country so she can stay next to OP. Mum took overseas job because she couldn't find a good job in their country so she needed a good job to have experience, now that she does she managed to get a good job.

OP continued to stay with her friend but her mother and stepdad was visit frequently and she would go stay at their house. Her mother was very apologetic because she didnt see the sign. She and stepdad proceeds to do all the family stuff OP missed out on.

OP went to live with dad at 12 and was kicked out at 16.

Like video, OP remains radio silent with dad but became really close to stepdad. She asked stepdad, who had no children of his own, to walk her down the aisle.

When bio dad found out he was livid and called OP who told him straight that he was a sperm donar and nothing more. She told him about all the things he did and how he had thrown her out, he never even called to check up on her so he had no right to be anything to her.

Half brother tried to mediate and her mother convinced her to talk to him at least once to find closure. Her fiancee also agrees so she spoke to him.

Bio dad apologises and said the moment he kicked her out he regretted it but he was so angry he refused to back down. He thought she would return after a night on the streets and apologise to him. So when she didn't he got angry and threw her stuff out. He still thought she'll come back but her mother turned up instead and that made him more angry so he decided to cut her off.

A few months later he saw her pictures online and saw that she was smiling and happy. He had already regretted even more now but he was too prideful and refused to be the first to make contact.

Which lead to years of silence and when he saw her wedding news he thought it was a chance for them to reconnect. Hence when he found out she had asked her stepdad to take his place he lashed out.

He apologised and said he knows he has anger issues and is now seeing a therapist, after the last fight with her, he knows she has ever right to cut him out completely but still wanted to ask for a chance to he part of her life.

OP takes time but ultimately tells him she is willing to be not hostile towards him and he can attend her wedding but as a guest. Her stepdad was the one who treated her like a daughter so he was the one who gets to give her away. Bio dad agrees.

Wedding goes without a hitch, bio dad and stepmum came but didn't make a scene. Half-brother was part of bridal party.

She danced with both her stepdad and bio dad for dad daughter dance. OP said she did that as she truly did want to mend and if one day they did mend and didn't have a memory of her wedding together she would regret it.

OP does end with everything is currently going slow with bio dad. They are learning.

Also note, OP and stepmum relationship is actually not bad, stepmum never excluded her and did try to defend her and include her but bio dad just refused to budge. So OP did not hate stepmum, which allowed her to have a close relationship with Half-brother.

Did mom drop off the face of earth when she moved? She’s not mentioned again. No visits? phone calls? letters?

[leasmacks]

Good for you. Not even being petty that’s just how he made the relationship and youve made your boundaries and are sticking to them. Salute!

Why didn't op live with mom abroad

[cidalia]

Daddy wants to show up at the wedding and show off like he did a lot of the work to raise her. Typical narc.

[rebekah.]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Sorry pal. OP is an adult now, and no longer under your control. 😂 He doesn't care about OP anyway. He just wants to put on the "wonderful dad" act so people don't find out he was a krap father to OP. People will ask why he didn't walk her down the aisle or why he wasn't at the wedding at all, and she'll tell them. He's upset because he can't control the narrative. Boo hoo. Sniff, sniff.

[leebianco]

I don’t really see as revenge as much as karma, but you do you and honestly he does deserve it

[whofandb]

It's not revenge. They're just keeping the toxic dad away. That's a healthy boundary.

[crowofjudgment]

You should have heard the evil laugh that left me

[sherrybarber]

I would have said "who said I invited you?"

[donnaleduc]

Don't use a beautiful time in your life about getting revenge. Don't have him walk you down the isle, but invite him. At the reception do not seat him with family. Then put him out of your mind and enjoy yourself

[zanetura]

it would be really funny to say the wrong place and send him photos of his actual wedding

[anthonyhargis]

Good for you. He got what he asked for.

[beautyandthenerd]

It feels like there is context she is leaving out.

[azeroth]

I deem this action as justice, not vengeance

[MeigetsuNoSeishin]

😮 Hold up! I Need that Fox Couple wood carving! That was Adorable!!! 😻

[mariewilliams]

OP on your wedding day why don't you get your stepdad some paper making him legally adopt you and you can call him dad that would be so if we a big pain in the side of your father
