Hometown troubles...
So i'm going to visit my hometown next weekend and of COURSE K is coming with me. I talked to my father this morning and he's like "OH, K is coming?" I say yes. I sensed a little disappointment in his voice so I asked if it was a problem. He says " I just want to see you so it doesn't matter". basically saying that he doesn't want her there but he wants to see me. So if he HAS to see her to see me then it's fine. My feelings were really hurt by that but I didn't know how to react at the time. Now I don't even want to go, but my bestfriend is getting married so I have to. I don't want K there if she's not wanted. If she's not wanted then I'M not wanted.
We're staying at a hotel but I still have to eventually see him and K is going to have to come along. I don't want her to be uncomfortable. I don't know what to do. I guess I'm just venting. I'm so mad we're still going through this.
Ugh... now i'm starting to cry...
Re: Hometown troubles...
aww, i'm sorry hon
I hate that you're still going through this too.
despite the discomfort involved, my only hope would be that the more your dad sees K, how happy she makes you, and the strong marriage you have, the more likely he may be to come around.

I agree with this. I know it will be hard for you and K but maybe it will help in the long run. I know with my mom, the more interactions she had with my K the easier things got. Heck - they just spent 2 whole days together and my mom called to tell me how much she really liked getting to spend alone time with K. It might take time but things can change. ((hugs))
Ditto. Go and enjoy your friends wedding. When you and K meet with dad, do so with your heads held high. Good luck.

That sucks. Hopefully the weekend will go better than you anticipate.
