Okay so my Mom and Dad were divorced when I was young and I lived with my mom full time and only got to see my dad a handfull of summers growing up, even though I rarely saw him my twin and I always knew who he was we talked on the phone all the time there were just health issues and other issues that prevented us from being able to see him as much as he would like. My Mother has since remarried and he doesn't care for or want to be around my mother's side or my step dad (who i haven't always had the best relationship with but mostly because I was a rebelious teenager but we get along awesome now) of the family at all. Its deeper than that but in a nutshell that's a bit of the history.
Anywho, I was talking to him yesterday and he asked where we were having it and I told him my Aunts house, and he said, oh well I hope you take some good pictures to send to me. And basically told me he would not be coming. And I am so dreading telling my family, I don't even know why. I just don't know I'm hurt and disapointed. I always figured he would be there because he's my dad. I guess I just needed to like vent. I don't want him to regret not coming either, and when I told him that I would be inviting his side of the family he just told me how they werent close and that my and my sister are his family, but if that were true then why isn't he coming. Idk. I'm just really bummed I suppose
