This poor guy got stabbed in the back so many times. I'm amazed that the daughter cannot understand nor accept that he'd go no contact with her after she betrayed him every chance she got. First she picked her cheating mother over the loyal father, then the homewrecking ex-best-friend gets the same honor as her dad who she expects to pay for the wedding? And that's just the things we heard about here. Good on the dad for going no contact and sticking with it. Breaks my heart when good dads are just taken for granted and expected to suck up all the shitty behavior thrown their way. Sarah deserves every bit of heartache she got, although from the sounds of it, she only feels sorry for herself and not so much for how she mistreated her dad.

[@nikkiwhray1598]

I wonder if becoming a spouse and parent herself made the daughter understand the depth of her betrayal. I lost my younger brother to cancer when I was a teen. I always knew what my parents went through, but when I had my own child, I understood their loss on a much deeper level, and gained a whole new respect for the amount of strength they had. Maybe the daughter in the story had a similar revelation after experiencing the true intensity of the bonds between husband and wife, and parent and child. Maybe she finally understood what she actually took from her father.

[@jaymel4691]

​​@@nikkiwhray1598 I am neither a spouse nor a parent so I can't empathize fully with that type of pain, but I know it still must have been horribly painful for the dad to lose his wife, best friend, AND daughter.

By the time her father died she was 27, plenty of time to reflect on what she did to her father and plenty of time to realize that the same could happen to HER if she were to get divorced. She was fully grown long before her father got sick and do NOTHING to atone, nor, it seems, did she ever ream out her mother and stepfather, who OP curiously leaves out of this drama. Makes me wonder if all of the mother's children belonged to the best friend, or at least OP and his twin.

She sounded genuinely remorseful and regret everything. She just wants her father acknowledgement and love again. When the photo album came I really felt bad for her then. She can see the evidence of how much and badly she fked up and how much her father doesn't want anything to do with her. At least 2 things good came out of this. 1 your father suffering is over and he can rest without any regrets. 2 your sister is getting the help she needs and recovering, hopefully this experience will help her understand and make better decisions in life.

Story #1: This looks like a classic case of a child playing divorced parents against each other to get what they can (not a surprise, considering she's the obvious Golden Child, and they do tend to be manipulative and shallow). That all blew up in Sarah's face when she pushed it one step too far and expected Bio Dad to walk her down the aisle with the lying, cheating snake who screwed his ex-wife, Homewrecker Dad. To be honest, I'm pretty sure their relationship was already on life support when she decided to become a lawyer like Cheating Mom and HD, but Sarah just didn't notice. I suspect that even if BD hadn't skipped the wedding that he paid for and ghosted her after that, she'd have just continued to treat him like a doormat. I'm also not convinced that her real concern when she kept reaching out, especially as BD was dying, was whether or not she was going to inherit anything. I think BD knew her very well because he didn't disinherit her financially. He just disinherited her emotionally. *That* is what finally seemed to get through her thick, entitled skull. As anyone who has worked in hospice knows, the patient wants what the patient wants. They are busy dying (it's more work than you might think). They are not just sitting there, waiting for random family members to come by when it's convenient to get a final head pat. Daughter was not entitled to a final visit with her father if he found it too painful or a waste of time (which he clearly did). In fact, I'm going to go with a soft YTA because OP agreed with Sarah, not his father, and tried to bully his father into meeting with her. No, OP. The person who gets the say is the one who is leaving this world. Some bridges you cannot rebuild. You have to just move on from them. As for those who say that Sarah was a child when the divorce happened and can't be blamed for "choosing" CM, sure, she was only 8 at the time. But she was 22 when she got married and she knew what she was doing. She just didn't expect to experience the consequences she got.

True. If one of my parents cheated on the other that would be immediate no-contact (and possibly changing my surname).

She said and did all the right things to my face, but to everyone else she told them I said I was glad he had been killed and I had spent the night scr*wing another guy. Had I not been sat up all night with my sister to disprove it, it could have caused so much hurt. I did ask her why she'd done it before I broke the friendship, but never got an answer.

But every action he took after her wedding points to a despicable personality. Also spoiling is rather subjective and doesn'tmean hood parent. My dad spoiled us when he was around but he was, objectively a bad father. He made my mother fight for child support, never called and beat the shit out of my mom before she took us and left. He was also a polygamist and got with my mom when she was 18 and he in his mid 30s. So, spoiling doesn't mean crap and the son obviously feels some hero worship toward the dad.

Then maybe, just maybe, she’ll look back on her actions and finally understand how her dad felt and why he had to walk away from it all. Because right now it really just feels like she feels sorry for herself and the consequences she’s having to face, rather than truly taking responsibility for her actions-if she had, she would have stopped trying to push the dad to make amends and respected his decision to go NC.

That was painful. That father loved his family greatly. For his "wife" and "friend" to do that to him is sickening. And the kicker his daughter that he also loved and spoiled decided that it was okay to: go with the cheaters, drop wanting to go to medical school to follow in his footsteps because the cheaters wanted her to be like them, a lawyer; got a job with cheater, and the heartbreaking thing to subsidize his role in her wedding. She betrayed her father countless times, maybe more than we know. His was heart broken, she knew how much that meant to him walking her down the aisle and she took that from him. OP said he would mention it at every wedding he went to and that he loved wedding. And for John and his ex to be thrown in his face the entire time is sick. I'm glad the uncles were there to kick them out of the funeral. The sister got what she asked for, she got John, not the father that would have done anything for her. I hope she Truly learns from this. And I am so, so sorry for OP and his family's loss. His father sounded like the guy you would want to be friends with. Much love OP.

[@lasmirandadennsiewillja9435]

People like to paint people either black or white and only pick and choose from what the story tells. The mother was a shitty wife but not bad enough of a mother for OOP to say anything about it. People hear "she didn't burn the stepfather alive!" but not that the daughter tried to have a relationship with him in addition to the one she had with her father. They also only hear "they didn't talk after the wedding, so she disowned him!" when she tried to appease both men (and most likely also her mother). What we got here is a girl and later young woman who didn't want to disown any of her parents and who tried to be a bandaid that somehow kept the fractured family connected. We don't know about the career path change and if she really enjoyed her previous choice. Maybe her interests changed, maybe either was good but she ultimately didn't choose the stepfather but job security with a boss she got along with. Demanding to stick with a choice to appease one side of the family sounds asshole-ish to me. She also didn't kick her father out of the wedding, she wanted to find a way to incorporate both families. By trying to appease both sides, she royally pissed off the side that gave her a "he or me!" ultimatum. She also didn't disown him but tried to fix things from the moment they happened. It was the father who disowned her, his grandchildren, and then tossed money at her to rub his punishment of "see, now I don't love you anymore!" in. To me, it's an ESH. The AITA audience is, as usual, unforgiving and one mistake, no matter the gravity or reasoning behind it, deserves lifelong punishment, cruelty, and suffering. She screwed up, should have known her father better, but to say she didn't give a fuck and just cared about the stepfather simply isn't true. I also suspect the father gets the benefit of "don't speak ill of the dead, the dead can't do any wrong", a sentiment I'll never be a fan of. If we put his illness aside, we got a daughter who was torn between two families and fucked up big way in the process and a father who was intentionally cruel for years and years after. Between the mother, stepdad, father, and daughter, there are no good guys but from what the story provides an info, the daughter is the lesser evil of them all, be it her actions or the level of felt remorse (zero from the stepdad and mother, not enough from the father to be willing to work on repairing the relationship, and enough from the daughter to try and try again and ruining her mental and physical health over it.).

He passed away a few months after that and I know it eats my sister up that she didn't invite them.

S1: Maybe I'm jaded, maybe I'm a horrible person, but I don't really feel bad for the sister, if I'm being completely honest. She betrayed her father repeatedly (staying with mom, changing her major, etc etc). He reached his limit and OP doesn't say (not being in a position to know himself), but I'm wondering if sister killed dad's feelings for her. Two parts to my experience, let me try to explain. (ETA wow this ended up being a novel, so I'm going to try the condensed version!) part 1: My mother was abusive. I cut her off three times, the first two being guilt-tripped into letting her back into my life by family. The third time, however, she hurt my kids, and that's a line that can't be walked back. She's out of our lives, until they make decisions for themselves. She begs and pleads, crying to the family about how she's the victim, but it's too little, too late. Part 2: My ex and I had a messy relationship. There was a lot of shit that went down, some abuse, and then things ended so badly that it was like a light switch flipped: One minute I was in love with him, the next I wasn't. He literally killed the feelings I had for him, and I was dating someone else three months later. My friend whined that it "wasn't fair" that I got over my ex so easily, when she was still pining after hers for two years. I can't imagine my feelings "shutting off" for my kids, as a mother now, but maybe dad felt like that bridge had burned and couldn't be unburned. S2: Classic green-eyed monster: She got pregnant after you got engaged, using "donor sperm" because she wanted to take the attention off you. Then she used the "high risk" excuse for attention. She said she couldn't be your MOH because she didn't want to do the work, but she expected you to leave her as an honorary position, is my guess; when you didn't, she showed up in her MOH dress...for attention. Then bad-mouthed you at your own wedding for...see a theme going here? attention. She's competitive and nasty (why does it matter if you have kids or get married first? There is no prize for being the first to be married...). With friends like these, as the saying goes.

I’m glad the dad put Sarah in her place before he died. The thing that I haven’t seen in the post is that not only Sarah didn’t show any regret for choosing John but also for the fact that she didn’t seem to harbor any anger towards John and her mother for tearing apart the family. I have a feeling that Sarah knew about the affair since she didn’t seem angry at John for stealing her mom away from her dad and blowing up her parents marriage either, I don’t feel any sympathy for Sarah in the slightest since the day she wanted her father to walk her down the aisle with John is the day she basically lost her dad. I really hope OP’s sister finds out about the Reddit post so that she can know that she failed as a daughter and I really hope her fiancé cheats on her so she can know how it feels like to be cheated on.

I was furious as he ALWAYS spoke of honesty and good character. 3 of the 4 are honest, hard working members of society (he tried with that oldest but it didn’t take☺️). I was fortunate enough to mend our relationship about 4 months before his heart attack. Had he crossed over and I continued with all of the anger and resentment, I would have been crushed under the weight of the guilt. I really believe Dad wanted to punish her so she could feel as horribly as he felt all of those years. I am in disbelief that she made the proposal at all. That former friend would not have made it down the aisle. I honestly wish he had not excluded the grandkids but I get it. SHE is left to explain why all of the other grandkids have memories and photos with him. As unfair as it is to the kids, I guess he wanted her to truly feel unfair. The best part is that he didn’t omit them from the trust funds. As they mature, they will come to realize, the blame befalls Mom.
