I need some help to put this situation into perspective. If any one could help?
Background info- my father and mother separated when I was 10, we had contact once a month after that until my teens.
My dad and I grew closer as I got older. And when I was 21 I had my first baby he was always there for me. He would visit every other weekend and would spend a lot of time with his grandchild. I would make sure he was included in birthdays etc. he has had a few relationships but always spent time with us.
When I got married I made sure he was part of my day, he refused to make a speech and said he didn't want the fuss. He went on my husbands stag weekend.
He met someone new 3 years ago, he stopped calling and our time went down together. she has a child she adopted and a grown up child and I didnt think a lot of it.
He married her at Christmas. Didn't invite me. Just him, her and her children and another family member:
I am hurt, I cannot understand what I did to be so unimportant now. I told him I was hurt he told me that he didn't want any fuss.
He didn't even call me to tell me, he text me.
My children ( I had 3 at Christmas) received no Christmas wishes let alone gifts or cards.
His new wife commented on a ecard on my FB I had on my profile about family, telling me my dad was upset they have done nothing wrong and that I was out of order. I ignored this I was heavily pregnant and feeling hurt still.
I had my new baby early feb. I sent him a message to say that he had arrived and he replied telling me to let him know when they could come and visit: I never replied as I was unwell:
It's now 5 months since they married I haven't seen him, he hasn't even called. I sent her daughter a birthday card, he text saying thanks. Didn't ask how I was. Despite this he likes everything I do on facebook.
I can't see why a father who use to share time with me would not be wanting a relationship with me. Anybody got any thoughts. Am I being unreasonable by being upset about being left out of his wedding? Or is it as my friends say.. He has wanted to cut me out?
