For context, I was quite close to both of my parents, and whilst we were all living together, my dad had an affair and left to be with the other woman quite suddenly. It took myself, my brother and my mum a lot of time to come to terms with him leaving and dealing with the massive change to our lives.
This was around five years ago, and my mum has recently met someone new and is very happy. I am still extremely close to my mum, and whilst me and my dad are getting on better, I rarely see him.
So do I invite him to my wedding? I know it will make my mum feel uncomfortable to see him again and I know she will hide it, but the last thing I want is to cause her stress, after everything she went through. ( She hasn’t seen or spoken to him since he left) My dad has also recently married the woman he left my mum for, and although I’m happy that he is happy… the last thing I want to do is meet her let alone invite her to my wedding.
Writing this out, it seems that my heart doesn’t want to invite him.
However, he is still my dad, and I think he will be really hurt if I don’t invite him, and maybe we would never recover.
Please, has anyone else been in a similar situation with a similar dilemma?X
