My 23-year-old daughter, Jess, is getting married. As her dad, I wanted to pay for the wedding. However, she told me that her stepdad of 13 years would be the one walking her down the aisle. She said, \u201cHe\u2019s the one who raised me while you were working.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I called her \u201cungrateful\u201d and told her that I had worked to provide for her. I added that if this is what she wanted, then I wouldn\u2019t pay for the wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next day, she called me and said, \u201cWell, Dad, if you cannot control your jealousy, then with a sad heart, I think it\u2019s best if you don\u2019t show up at my wedding. We will manage without your money, even though it will be a much smaller event than planned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later, her stepdad came to my house. With a big smile, he said, \u201cYou see, you will never break the bond I share with Jess. Being a father is not about the money you give; it\u2019s about the time you spend with your children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am deeply offended by my daughter\u2019s actions. If this is what she wants, then maybe it\u2019s better I\u2019m not in her life at all. Am I wrong to think this way?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
