My manchild of a father has known since day 1 that I wanted to include my stepdad in our wedding. He's been around since I was 11 and has been there for me through the years my father and I weren't speaking, he deserves to be a part of everything. Lately my dad has been acting out like he doesn't want to participate. I finally asked my stepmom what the deal was since he can't communicate like an adult. She said that he seems disappointed that there isn't any part of the day that is just the two of us.
As much as it pains me to give in to his childish way of communicating this, I would like to figure out something to ease his hurt feelings. I love my dad, he's a giant pain in the ass, but I love him. And even though he constantly disappoints me, I am trying to build some kind of relationship with him. We lost 3 family members this year and made a pact to work on staying closer. It's one sided, but I'm holding up my end.
Any ideas on what I could do to give him a special moment?
