I do not want my father to walk me down the aisle
I am about to make a very important decision and I would like to have your candid opinion on it. Its regarding my forthcoming wedding and me wanting to do my father the honor of walking me down the aisle or giving my hand out in marriage. We have had a very distant Father-Daughter relationship due to the kind of torture he put my mother through while me and my brother were young and how the maltreatment affected my mother so much she developed hypertension and died when I was 14 and my brother 9.
From the much I know through
my observations then and my findings now, my parents fell apart after
my mum had an affair with the Chairman of my father's company while he
was imprisoned over a fraud case he was involved in. He was the Chief
Accountant of his multinational company and himself and other top
executives used his office to steal money that ran into millions of
dollars. He was arrested and locked up in prison. In a very confused
state and with all hopes dashed, my mother was advised to go meet with
his office Chairman who is one of these old dirty men that sleep with
everything in skirt. She was pressured to sleep with him as the only way
to get her husband out of the mess he was in as my father stood the
chance of spending a long time in jail. To save the idiot called my
father, my mother succumbed to his pressures and slept with him. Within
hours, my father was released but however lost his job. My mum decided
to keep this as a secret she probably would die with but eventually,
word got to my Father and he felt betrayed. In one of their quarrels, my
mum told my dad she did it just to save him and get him back home as he
was diabetic and could die in prison leaving her with two young
children.
My father decided she was a miss fit for him
and threw her out of his home and made us never see her again. He
relocated us from Nigeria, burnt all her documents because according to
him, he paid for her education. He got married again and then my brother
and I faced the usual step mother torture. We never got to see our
mother until she died in 2003 from hypertension and we were out of
tradition allowed to go for her funeral. All these years I have kept my
cool because I really needed to complete my education and now that I am
done and have gotten a job, I want to shut him permanently out of my
life. A man that irrational cannot be close to me nor my family. Irony
is that he is not remorseful after all these years. Still hauls all
manner of insults on my late mother.
I feel like not
giving him that opportunity to walk me down the aisle and cutting him
off my life would teach him a great lesson. Is my action going to be in
order or am I been too irrational? Please I need your candid advice
