Geeze I am so sorry to hear your D doesn't want daddy to walk her down the aisle. It's so understandable though. Especially when we place our parents on a pedastal and they disappoint us in the worst way!!!<P>When I married back in 74 my Mom had an affair a few years before and divorced my dad. She never married OM but continued the relationship until he died in 88. She literally forced him down our throats every holiday and in every day life. I did not want him at my wedding! Don't you know when we turned to walk out of church I saw om in balcony!!!! Can you imagine? I waited and had it out w/my mom later. She made all kind of excuses on how he wanted to see me etc...it made a poor relationship get worse. Today I have forgiven her but for years I hated her destroying our family. We fought and at one point I quit speaking to her for 3 years!<P>I now see ow's 12 yr. old doing the same thing. She hates my H. She blames him for everything that has happened to her. Her Daddy is gone to Fla....her new brother is my H's...I'll bet they tease him someday as kids can be cruel...like not letting him in w/the other bro. and sisters..you know how kids can be mean...She gave us "the finger" when we dropped off the baby in May the only time we saw him....She's VERY ANGRY!!!!<P>It's amazing how much pain this has caused so many people.<P>Tina, I just feel sooo very sorry for the baby. He didn't ask to be put in this situation either. I have to open my heart and let him in....<P>love<BR>debi<P>------------------<BR>Imagine....
