My dad’s new wife had an adult temper tantrum the whole day!

So for back story my dad is recently married to a woman that myself, my siblings and many members of my dad’s family do not like. She has done some very hurtful things in the past year and is very controlling of my father and his contact with us. Any time she doesn’t get her way, she has an ‘outburst’ and my dad takes the path of least resistance and just does what she says, even if it comes at the cost of hurting his kids.

However, I decided to put that all behind me and invite her to my wedding anyways (knowing sadly that my dad would likely not come to my wedding if she wasn’t invited). I did however only ask that he come to the rehearsal, as it would only be about 20 people and I didn’t want any drama happening the night before the wedding. My dad agreed with the plan months ago, but then a week before called and said he wouldn’t be there if she wasn’t invited. I stood my ground and said I’d see them on the wedding day. That seemed to have set her off…

• she arrived in a bright red, sparkly mini dress. Multiple guests were overhead asking “who the stripper in the dress was”.

• cried before the ceremony started and refused to stand as my mom and dad walked me down the aisle.

• sulked and disappeared for family photos…even though I was inviting her to be in them.

• loudly said that she “didn’t want to eat any of the shitty food” that was being served for dinner. This comment actually got my grandma who never says a mean thing about anyone to tell her that “if she can’t be respectful then she needs to leave”.

• got into a fight with my dad and threw her drink.

• kept disappearing to drink in her car, then reappearing just to sulk and cry in the corner.

Luckily, none of these events impacted my night at all, I had the best day ever! Still trying to decide if/how to confront my dad about how concerning this behaviour was…

He knows what she is - but he gets to f**k a stripper in a red sparkly dress. That's all he's thinking.

Don't confront him. Just let him know that when she takes all his money, he can't live with you.
