Hi everyone! New to the site, just got engaged last night to the love of my life and I am beyond excited... atleast I was until I called my Dad to tell him the news and the stepmother from hell ruined my night.
Long story short, my relationship with my Dad is very strained due to her. Shes an incredibly selfish person, and always has been. But seeing as how I am my Dad's only child, I thought they would be happy and excited. First she informs me that the date I picked is in the middle of drag racing season (my dad has raced for 30+ years), so shes not sure they could take the time off. Second, she doesnt think they can afford to come out for it. SERIOUSLY, I WANT TO SCREAM. They can afford for her to visit her kids all the time but cant come out for one of the most important days of my life?
I am trying not to let it stress me out, but its incredibly hard not to be devastated by the attitudes. Does anyone have tips on how to deal with something like this?
