Two fathers....Plz help!
I was raised by my Step-dad all my life and my Real dad was in my life but wasn't aloud to be in a leading role. Early in my life I was told my real dad was my uncle..I was in second grade when I found out who he truly was. Since then he and I have been working on our relationship, we have had our ups and downs but have gotten closer throughout the years and now are close. Now let me add I am very very close to my Step-dad..He is my rock, he has brought me up and taught me everything I know. Now that I am engaged and planning a wedding i am torn about how much I should involve my real dad. He has offered to help pay for alot and i feel horrible taking his money and not having him feel special in some way. But my Step-dad and mom are flipping out, they do not want him there or him to have any special things. I want each Dad to feel equal and just to have fun. How can I involve him without the drama? Any Advice? Thanks!
Re: Two fathers....Plz help!
Have you ever asked your mother what the he!! She was thinking by lying to you about your father? Look you are being an adult and getting married, be an adult and tell your mother and step dad to back off. They are trying to control and dictate your re
Do what feels right for you, it is your wedding after all.
If you haven't already, reassure you stepdad that your father isn't replacing him and vice versa. There is room for everyone in your life if that's what you want.
If you are old enough to get married, you are old enough to stand up for yourself.
Walk yourself down the aisle.
Dance with both fathers for the Father/Bride dance. Make it a long song and dance with each for 2 minutes.
