My stepdaughter is getting married. And she wants me to give her away witch is great. The bad part is my ex her mom sent me a mesg saying that if i go to the wedding she will not. I love my step kids and would do anything for them. I would break her hart if I don't go. But if I do than I am putting a riff between her and her mom. What should I do?
God Bless you all.frustrated

yeah that is exactly what I was going to say. Talk it over with the girl, it is her wedding. Let her decide what is best and what she would like based on that. Honest discussions always work the best if you ask me.

She asked you to give her away. I would do it. Your ex will be making up her own mind whether or not to attend. This day is about the bride and groom, and no one else.

cool

Your stepdaughter is the one who asked you. Does she know that her mom feels this way, and if she does then it not going to matter, and if she does not then she should be allowed to talk to her mom and tell her that is what she wants.

Hi.

I dont think you should have this problem in ur hands. She asked you, is not like you wanted to, so, of course you have to be there, I dont think the mother wont, and if she doesnt, shame on her, it's her daughter.

The bride doesnt need any additional stress if you can help it. Try and reason with mom, ask her to consider her daughters feelings, and if she is still being unreasonable, then I would talk to the daughter and let her know that whatever she chooses is ok with you and you love her and are proud of her no matter what, and you will support her decision.

It's your daughter's day..the heck with what anyone says except her and her soon-to-be life mateprofessor If after talking to the two of them, and making sure everyone is informed about the possible turn-of-events, they then say "yes" to please come, then "Yes" do that in honor of her. cheering





ps...didn't use the word "step daughter" because she obviously loves you more than just a step Dad,
so make her day as special as you can.hug She and her Mom can work it out later when her Mom hopefully takes the time to understand how important this was to her daughter and regrets putting such an ultimateium on either of youhandshake Good Luck and I hope this works out for everyoneangel

My heart goes out to you. This is a sticky situation, but I think you should go. Your step daughter asked you to give her away, that is a once in a life time thing.

Her mother will still go to the wedding. She won't want to miss it. She is more than likely just trying to make you decide not to go. I would let the daughter know, just in case though.

Go to the wedding, enjoy. Make memories.

I liked this reply because it kinda sums it all up she obviously see you as a dad. Any male can be a father it takes a man to be a dad just remember that

Hi Hick,

I don't know how far off the wedding is, but mom will come around. She was probably just trying to bully you into staying away. Just don't let her bully you at the wedding, smile and be happy for your daughter.

Good Luck!!
