AITA for refusing to go to my dads wedding
My(20F) dad(45M) had decided to get re-married to a woman(35F) who disliked my sister(29F) purely because she was from a past marriage and not actually “his daughter”.
He had been in her life and raised her since she was 8 years old.
This woman that I had met once had asked me to be one of her bridesmaids which i said yes.
Later my dad messaged me asking if it would be weird if my sister had attended the wedding which i immediately responded no.
Her sister had no hard feelings.
My sister and I were both excited for him that he had found someone that he cared so deeply for.
He originally said my sister could come but couldn’t be in pictures because it made his fiancé uncomfortable.
She agreed to come and was fine with it.
But now, her sister is upset.
A few months later he text my sister that “decisions had to be made about attendance at the wedding. unfortunately you will not be able to attend. I appreciate your understanding.”
After this my sister was extremely upset and felt like she lost the main father figure in her life.
When hearing this I was hurt for my sister and got in many fights with my dad with him saying that this is my fiancé’s special day and how dare i try to ruin it.
She sided with her sister.
After this was said i told him that i would no longer be attending his wedding let alone be a bridesmaid.
AITA? 6 months have past since the wedding and he still refuses to talk to me and have had his side of the family call me and tell me i’m overreacting which i feel that i am not.
Yikes! What an awful situation! I feel bad for both sisters. At least they’re old enough that they don’t have to live with this step-monster.

It was the dad’s choice.
This person thinks the dad and his wife are the ones who messed up.
This definitely isn’t going to be one big happy family. If the dad chooses his wife over his daughters, they’re probably better off without him.
The new wife sounds awful. I wouldn’t have wanted to be at that wedding anyway.
