Evening all, I have been writing & rewriting an email & need some help as absolutely stuck with what to say...
Whistle stop background:
Parents divorced when I was about 5, not close to my Dad at all, he had us eow for quite afew years but I always disliked going because I just didn't feel any bond with him. At some point he introduced us to his friend 'Jenny' & then later they lived together & we visited them there. When I was around 15 & seeing Dad sporadically I found out the reason my parents had divorced was because he had had an affair with 'Jenny'. I was pretty angry about this not being made clear to me earlier but it wasn't really spoken about much & Ive never had a conversation with my Dad about it at all. I am very close to my mum & always have been. From 18 onwards I totally lost touch with him & didnt see or speak to him for about 15 years. When I had my daughter 2 years ago he got back in touch & we emailed back & forth abit before meeting up in a park last Summer. It was fine, not awkward, we just talked about my daughter & general chit chat. Weve emailed a couple more times & arranged to meet again in a month or so. His last email finalising arrangements threw in that he would be bringing 'Jenny'. I REALLY do not want to meet up with her, obviously she is just an old lady now & its mostly water under the bridge, but I still dont want to spend time with her. I don't really want to see my Dad either to be honest, but feel some obligation because of my daughter.
Right, so if you got this far- thankyou! How the hell can I word an email to my Dad basically saying don't bring 'Jenny'? Help!
