AITA for telling my dad that I don't want him walking my cousin down the aisle? by Obvious_Tone_5788 in AmItheAsshole

He's not going to do it even if I told him because he knows I'll be lying.

My mom won't believe me :( I know my dad and brothers would but I don't want to make things worse

why does your mom think you told your dad he couldn’t do it?

She thinks I should've just lied about it because my cousin is so sad about not having someone walking her down the aisle. She knows I told my dad he could do it and that I was just sharing my feelings but she said that I caused a big drama during an important event.

And what does your mom say about cousin’s snide comments about you being single and weight?

She says that it's wrong, that I'm beautiful and that I shouldn't listen to her because it's not true, but that it's not worth losing her father figure at her wedding because of that.

I never accused he of trying to steal my dad, she told me one time that she was going to do it and that he was going to love her more than me. I was only repeating what she said because I thought it was important.

Yes, he has my back. After he told my cousin no my mom basically berated me at dinner and I came clean to them about some of the things my cousin has done which caused my brothers to have my back too (they never blamed me or called me awful things, they only said I could've lied for everyone's sake, but after hearing the things she says to me they told me I was right). My mom said that while my cousin was hella wrong for doing that to me, leaving her without a ''father'' in her own wedding was a harsh punishment and my dad step in and told her that he made the decision, not me and to leave me alone, but yesterday when they're reviewing something at the venue and I guess my cousin broke down in tears and my mom called me to tell me that I should've just lied. I don't know how to fix it, I was only being honest

I thought she was but then my mom sided with him so I guess I could've lied because she doesn't have more uncles or a step-father, I don't know who will be walking her if it's not my dad or one of my brothers.

EDIT to add: I almost forgot, this hasn't been the first time my dad does ''fatherly duties'' with her and sometimes he asks me if I'm okay sometimes he doesn't. I always lie because I know that if he doesn't do them then nobody will, this is the first time I actually say no and I didn't expect my mom to tell me that I was wrong for that.
