A reader seeks advice on how she should handle attending her father's fourth wedding.
In a couple of weeks, I will attend my dad’s wedding.My sister and I were surprised to find out about five months ago that his fiancee is none other than the woman he had an affair with 30 years ago, while married to our mom.
A few weeks after we found out, my sister, brother-in-law, husband and I all had a conference call with my dad to discuss our reservations. None of us came right out and asked, “Is this the same woman?” because we were still too in shock and didn’t want to point-blank confront my dad.My husband, who has credentials as a minister, was asked to perform the ceremony.
We were not uninvited, but my husband was released of his officiant responsibility, and we are going to the wedding. I told my sister that when we were younger and made stupid decisions, our parents supported us, even when they didn’t agree, so I am going to support my dad. My sister is also going, as is my husband to support me, but I am worried things will get out of hand.
