I Won't Give Away Youngest Daughter At Wedding As Older Daughter Is Jealous

In the second story you can tell that the nan knows how terrible they are because she didn't say "we can work something out", or "we'll stop them if they try soemthing" is is beautiful that she accepted OP's feelings so quickly

[@lisemartino1854]

In my opinion, Nan just needed an excuse to uninvite people who she knows are toxic. Sometimes we feel ‘obligated’ to invite people because of social norms, not because we want them there. Now they are all going to have a very special Christmas.

I'm just imagining Christmas or Thanksgiving dinners. Something tells me the OP would constantly be at Anna's. Not making time for Carly if this continues.

[@mkuti-childress3625]

Exactly. He would not only choose one daughter over the other, he would be rewarding Anna’s horrible behavior and _ensuring_ that she will do this kind of thing again and again. What he should have done was told her absolutely no to her disgusting request, but if she ever tries to do that again, he will have nothing to do with her. He’s already setting himself up to not get to see Alex in the future if he lets her get away with it this time, anyway. He’s obviously a big part of the reason Anna is like this to begin with. I can’t believe he is being so selfish as to only consider which daughter will give him a grandchild. It would be poetic if Carly ends up with six kids but he doesn’t get to see them because he is spineless and selfish.

[@f.t.cnation9999]

[@azadalamiq]

the best support she coulda gave laylas is a trip to a psych ward. her behavior is NOT OK, and she needs to be treated not babies. she literally stole the boyfriend and manipulated him for sex. op should have kept her kid in therapy. or ask psychologists for help.

[@f.t.cnation9999]

@@azadalamiq As much as i would like to take shitty people to the psych ward. It doesn't work that way if she is not demonstrating behaviour that is a danger to herself or others. You cant get her admitted. Yes she could be mental health issues at play hear but she could just be a self centered jealous bitch. She is in therapy but at an adult that is her choice you cant force it and your also not entitled as a parent to an adult child to have any information about that. She got her therapy as a child. You are making MICK sound like a victim. Oh no honey he was a grown man that made the choice to sleep with his GF'S sister.

She was scathing of Laylas interactions with mick showing that she didnt condone her actions.

I always hate it when a parent lets the jealousy, resentment, or disability of one child ruin everything for the other child. I don't care who gets married first, the daughter who is getting married has done nothing to deserve her father crapping on her wedding just to appease the other daughter. If he allows his jealous daughter to manipulate him this way, he deserves to lose his relationship with his functional daughter.

[@martinprochazka3714]

Story 3: "We don't negotiate with terrorists", I wonder if OP ever heard of that...

[@LukasJampen]

I mean that is straight up blackmail just to ruin the sisters wedding. Like WTF. And I bet she couldn't even go no contact because she needs the parents support. And so what if your other daughter doesn't want children that shouldn't be the reason to give in to those demands. That almost goes into blaming the victim territory. "Yeah I know I ruin the wedding by choosing your crazy and delusional sister who is blackmailing me over you but I wouldn't have to stab you in the back, if you were planning to have kids." Just WTF

[@jackiewepps4694]

Story 4: Am I the only one thinking we just need two evil stepsisters and an upcoming ball, and then we have a very good story that totally hasn't been told a million times? The worst part about it is the fact that OP is starting to think that they might be the one in the wrong. That's awful!

Jealous sister story: In OP's place, if Anna asked me not to walk Carly down the Isle, I'd be like, "You do realize, to be fair, that if you get married I cannot walk you down the isle either unless Carly and you agree that I walk her down the isle with you on your wedding day in full bridal outfit, to renew her vows and have a double party. Sounds fun eh? Cut my grandson off? Have you thought of the consequences when I no longer support you because of your actions? Do you really want to go it alone? Can you go it alone?

But maintain that they were a great aunt and uncle. They would have had a great relationship with their niece. So OP was NTA. I’m so glad she did well.

[@lovelywolv]

Story 1: Her sister betrayed her other sister's trust. It is not the mom's place to make her forgive. If she makes the other sister try to forgive her then the daughter who was cheated on will probably cut off the mom.

If there was an issue people shouldn't have to intervene because IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. Do not apologize to them because they don't deserve it. It's not their house. NTA Story 3: I can't remember which daughter is which so no judgement. Bad on you for choosing one daughter over another. Story 4: The MIL is trying to remove the daughter from their life. Go talk to your father. Get out of there soon and go to therapy. NTA.

Layla 100% suffers from a cluster B personality disorder. I think she has either antisocial personality disorder (which is more commonly known as psychopathy or sociopathy) due to her impulsive behavior and lack of remorse for her behavior OR she has histrionic personality disorder due to her attention seeking, shallow emotions (she didn’t even get together with the man she claimed she was meant to be with), thinking relationships are closer than they are, excessively emotional and sexually provocative behavior to gain attention (I think this is the most likely case).

Story 4: Jesus Christ, OP should have signed it 'Cinderella', this is a real 'evil Step-mother' story, except even worse, because her Father is still there, & is allowing ALL of it. This child is not their slave, she is NOT responsible for being a 'stand-in wife' because the step-Mother doesn't want to get off her lazy ass & do anything. Making her sit in the back during the wedding was a HUGE message to OP, it was saying 'You're not my step-daughter, or even part of this family, & your father doesn't care about you anymore'. (It broke my heart because OP sounds like such a sweet, loving, reasonable daughter who tolerated this woman taking over their lives without complaint because she was just so happy to see her father happy again. 1 year was NOT long enough to grieve before forcing a new marriage on OP. I'm... just amazed that her dad could do this to her. And then, when OP does everything she's ordered to do, & just wants coffee so she can wake up earlier to do it, she withholds that from her purely out of cruelty. I hope OP is stashing every bit of money she gets access to (which... probably isn't much, lets be honest). Her academics will be her ticket out of there.

Story 3: YTA cause OP cave into the demands of the older sister. Carly was in the right to uninvite OP to the wedding but if you ask me, OP should cut off Anna. It's not about the grandson, it's about the older sister wanting to ruin the relationship with OP and his younger Daughter and guess what, she succeed. Good luck with trying to recocile cause Carly will have nothing to do with OP and no doubt Anna may cut him off too when he wants to say that he wants to go to the wedding.

[@inferlynx737]

Story 2 you should refer to the uncle and aunt as rumple and rumplet as a reference to rumplestiltskin since they wanted your firstborn as payment 😅

[@SonicBadass]

Story 3: NTA, but still wrong, Anna wrong and she will still go to you for help anyway. You should be there at your daughters wedding.

[@BiteSizedCrafter]

@Daddy Bigshlong I’d sue for custody of Alex if Anna is so unhinged.

[@AndreNDP]

@@BiteSizedCrafter Not the easiest to get that unless there are drugs/criminality. And it's cutting off your daughter forever. Much as this seems an improvement, she's still his daughter.

[@BiteSizedCrafter]

@@AndreNDP Nothing wrong with cutting a toxic child out of your life. My father had to do it too ( not me, my brothers).

[@fhuber7507]

4... OP is NTA and needs to report witch Step-mom and abusive-neglectful dad to CPS.

[@carlrood4457]

Should bring up to Aunt and Uncle all the Christmases OP has missed due to their behavior. If everyone wants to play relatively nice, they can split Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Christmas is good that way.

My god that last story sounds like the way I would have thought as a teen. I was mom to my 3 (barely younger) siblings and my parents. I took care of 3 giant dogs and 4 cats, 200 fruit trees, and a very large house while going to school and working. I was blamed for everything, everything was my responsibility but I had no freedom. I was made to go to bed at 9 till 17 years old and 9:30 at 18 just as an example. My mother hated my guts and my sister was a psychopath that targeted me while pretending to be an angel to everyone else. I am still dealing with the psychological stuff 8 years later. OP definitely needs to get out of that situation as soon as possible. She is not the AH the father and step mom are. Leave their asses to deal with their own shit. My mom literally had to learn how to clean when I left....which she still is horrible at. The same is going to happen with the "adults" in this story

[@abm5119]

NTA OP in story 1, and for the sake of your older daughter, DO NOT try to reunite them

[@scrotuspotus6632]

if my family member stole someone i thought i loved, you'd be deader to me than the dude who cheated lol.

[@komal146]

Story 3: YTA are strong words. The father is not favouring but can be stronger with his response. Anna won't survive too long without her parents. And poor Carly might've had to endure her sister's jealousy for so long just because she's doing good, saw her parents helping her and now this. Parents need some suggestions n a strong heart that's all. Fuck Anna

[@amberleeannalee1999]

Older daughter must be golden child and only one with fifis that matter. I hope younger daughter uninvited OP and goes no contact.

[@jeancarbonneau6966]

That 4th story was disturbing. The step-mom sounds like a gold digger with no standards for child rearing. She swept in after the death of the wife to take advantage of the money from the insurance policy. She's not wife material if she can't even do any chores. OP should just stop being a housekeeper and be a student. She needs to eat, she cooks for herself. If there's no food, then she gets the lazy woman to do the groceries. If that still doesn't work, then I hope that she can go and move to a relative's home to finish her schooling and help out that family.

[@themandownthehall]

Anna will not cut off contact. She's going to need Daddy's money. So he's definitely the ah for not seeing that and doing her bidding

[@stephenlundy5082]

Story 3: OP is definitely the AH. Although OP says that his daughters have never asked him to choose between them before, but given the oldest daughter's behavior I seriously doubt it. She has probably forced OP to choose her a thousand smaller ways that he is not acknowledging, especially all the extra support older daughter requires (i.e. the Bank of Dad) This one is just the most obvious. Younger daughter has seen and recognized this, that's why she just laughed when OP brought it up, and simply uninvited him from the wedding. Honestly, if it was me I'd tell older daughter "If you are so petty that would cut off all contact with me because I want to honor your sister at her wedding, so be it. But this means no more free baby sitting, and no more access to the Bank of Dad. I would never forgive myself if I lost your sister over this, and I would certainly never forgive you."

[@AraAra6367]

The only thing stepmom in true last story is right about is that OP shouldn’t be drinking coffee and going to bed early but???? Whose fault is that?!??? I can’t believe dad is ok with his kid taking over all household chores like that. I’m an adult still living at home and even my own parents don’t expect me to do that.

[@thecap6743]

Story 4. I would say send the letters dealing with an evil stepmother. Let me get this straight. Your stepmom evil is a stay-at-home mom doesn't do any of the cleaning, cooking or any of that stuff? But you was a student who works and goes to school and all that has to? You know what if I was you op. Look for an exit plan. Get ready to leave. Maybe you could stay with another relative and just let them know what's happening. Grandparents, uncles and aunts etc etc. All the best. Also stop cooking and cleaning for everybody. Let her do it. She's the parent right?

[@friendlymushroom6105]

Story 3: you can tell that all those redditors have never had a child used against them. That kid is going to suffer in that woman’s care.

[@WyattBeeler]

Yo, I just wanna say Mark, I really enjoy your videos, Ive watched every single one. You vibe and thankfulness for people showing up for your amazing content surprises me and confounds me on how your so positive and happy and It brightens my day constantly.

Aww Wade! Thank you so much and it's good folks like yourself who keep me going :)

Never an a hole in my eyes Starvin :)

[@leighnisbett9691]

To op in the first story,your spoilt little brat hasn't apologised to her sister yet ,it's not your job to get the kids to connect again ,the spoilt brat has to apologise to her older sister and she has to mean it or it's an empty gesture on her part.If your youngest is still being an entitled brat ,she might need a reality lesson (life lesson ) ,tell her she is responsible for her food ,rent ,and bills after you tell her to move out of your home and grow up .Focus on the daughter that was and still is hurt by her disowned sister and heal the pain she caused first ,then forgiveness may be forth coming ,stay in your youngest daughters life in a loose form ,just advice for budgeting ,cooking and help with little things only .NTA

[@unluckypuppy13]

Lmaooo there's just something so much punchier when british people call someone a cow. Gold. My face was like 0o0 oh no he didn't .

[@sxatcychan1988]

3rd story: Haha. OP is asking the younger daughter to elope.

[@justanetizen6504]

Wow what a sorry excuse for a father who is actually giving into a rotten person I hope Carly has nothing to do with her father

[@fhuber7507]

2... NTA. OP has just been defending herself and her child. F the aunt/uncle

[@MGP2210]

Story 04 The stepmother is not trying to be a parent, she's trying to be a lazy tyrant.

[@susanvanophem4569]

Get away from these people and don't look back. When you lost your mom you lost your dad. Consider yourself an orphan and go out into the world and make your family with friends and new loved ones.
