Dad Refuses To Walk Daughter Down The Aisle After ‘Real Dad’ Passed Away
Imagine being a parent who loses contact with their daughter for years. One day, you get an invitation to walk her down the aisle at her wedding.
That's exactly what happened with a father who hadn't spoken to his "daughter" for years after learning she wasn't really his. He found himself in a challenging situation...
How It Started
Already, this story begins with a huge blow. It takes a strong person to still love a child made from infidelity.
His daughter would end up living with the birth father, but this man still loved her.
Accepting The Truth
Naturally, a discovery like this would be painful for anyone. It stung even more when the daughter wanted to live with the biological father.
She would begin to pull away from him more and more.
The Last Straw
Things became more depressing for the father when the daughter turned 20. It was like she began giving up.
He didn't like it, but she wasn't trying to negotiate with someone who wasn't her real dad.
No More Contact
Eventually, she left to go stay with her biological father. This pained the other dad deeply and made him very depressed.
For years he tried reaching out, but she wanted no contact. She had a sibling, a brother, who didn't like this behavior, and he became upset with her.
The Moment Of Truth
After all that she put him through, she still wanted to ask him to walk her down the aisle for her wedding.
Now, was this because her real dad passed away, or did she genuinely want him there?
The Decision
He thought about what he would say and sent a lengthy message to her expressing how much she hurt him.
Ultimately, he decided on telling her no. He didn't want to walk her down the aisle for the wedding. It escalated into a massive fight because "it's not her fault she wanted to know her real dad." He said it was her fault for how she treated him.
How He Felt About It
The way he felt about the situation was pretty fair. Would she have cared if the real dad didn't die?
He might've ruined her day, but she messed up his life for a very long time.
Was He In The Right?
From his brother to random strangers online, people believe he shouldn't have told her no. His brother thought it was the perfect chance for him to welcome her back into his life.
His son is on his side, but the dad doesn't know if he made the right choice.
