So my mom and stepdad are splitting up after 22 years. They've had serious issues for as long as I can remember, and I don't know of a time in my life that they were happy together. So this is not a surprise to me but apparently for many people it is.
I called my stepdad today and he tells me he is no longer coming. I consider him to be my dad. He raised me since I was a baby and he's always been "dad" so he was supposed to be walking me down the aisle, and now he's not coming. Because he needs everyone on "his side", his entire family has also decided not to come. That's like 40 people, and a huge chunk of our guest list. The reason we decided on a large wedding is because they wanted to come.
I'm just so annoyed. Our venue is huge and I feel so stupid having only 60 people in such a large space we thought was going to be filled with people. I feel betrayed by my family and they don't even have the guts to say they aren't coming, just ignoring the invite.
