Every parent hopes for a perfect wedding for their kid, but unanticipated drama can occasionally upset such preparations. Allie, a dedicated mother, had one request: that her husband’s wife refrain from attending their daughter’s wedding. Despite this, the stepmother arrived, causing a commotion. However, Allie stepped in and salvaged the situation. Later, she contacted us to tell her tale.
Allie’s letter:
I hate my ex-husband’s wife, Tara – she’s the one who ruined our marriage years ago. For our daughter’s wedding, I asked him not to bring her, but he did and said, “Wherever I go, she goes!”
So, I had no choice but to kick her out. She gave me an evil smile then left. Right before walking down the aisle, I got a message on my phone from Tara. It said, “I’m not the only one who left! Remember, you did this to your daughter yourself. Now enjoy the day.”
At that moment, my daughter screamed. I rushed to her, and I was horrified to find all her flowers on the floor and her in tears. She said, “Mom, Dad left too with Tara. He was supposed to walk me down the aisle, but he left me on my most important day.”
I told my daughter that I understood she was upset and angry, but I helped her dry her tears and gave her a pep talk before walking her down the aisle myself.
The day continued well, but I know it will forever be a bittersweet memory for her because of what her dad did. She says she’ll never forgive him for leaving her just like he left me 12 years ago to be with that woman. What should I do now? Yours, Allie
