My stbx's daughter came to visit me the otherday. She was 8 years old when her mother and I met now she is soon to be 26. She has kept in contact with me since mama left for her new bf. Daughter came by the house the other day and said she was getting married and wanted to know if I would walk het down the isle at her wedding. We were not real close while she was at home as she was a "problem child" but as she has been on her own that has changed and I'm the only dad figure she had but never called me dad which was fine. The problem I have is that I feel that she has been playing sides since the divorce proceedings have begun. She claims she has little to no contact with the stbx. I hate to tell her no as she has little to no contact with her biological father but I really dont want to face the stbx's family as thay are all troublemakers. I have thought about going threw with it, giving her away walking to the back of the church to watch then leaving right after. I'm not playing chicken s**t. I just try to avoid trouble. My gut is telling me dont do it but there is so much bitterness between the stbx and I. Also I know the kids should be first as well. Any thoughts???
I think you should have a heart-to-heart with your stepdaughter. She obviously wants you to be a big part of her special day but it's possible she hasn't thought this through completely.
If she still wants you to give her away, then screw the mom's family. If anybody says anything to you, tell them that you'll be glad to discuss it at a more appropriate time and place but that today it's not about you or them, it's about your stepdaughter.
I say go for it stand up for her and show your character in the process. Just because people are hateful doesn't mean we back down. It probably took her considerable nerve to ask you. don't let the other side have it their way, it is her wedding and she picked you, that is an honor Dad.
