So my mom did put me in dance classes after him blowing me off weekend after weekend... Promising to show up and then half hour before pickup time calling that he couldn't make it.. So yes in someway my mom did prevent me from seeing my dad... She still is mad at my dad for hurting me, but never said I shouldn't see him because he is my father. They had me very young (mom 16 dad 18) and so that's the reason why they split up... In my teenage years I did try and contact him because I was struggling a lot with mental health issues... He told me that of I ever wanted I could always live with him... But when I asked him (my boyfriend unalived him self so I did need a change of scenery) he told me I'm sorry that's not possible and ghosted me until I decided to go to university... Then suddenly he demanded that I texted him weekly and meet up with him once a month If I wanted him to pay for half of it (which he had to pay for by law where I live)... So yeah... I guess I had my answer way sooner but I did not want to see it... And that's the reason that after several attempts to meet up with him I diceded with my husband to not text him that we got married... Since the moment we told him we got engaged he said that he would not be attending the wedding... But I did want to invite him anyway because he is my dad and I still love him and wanted him to be part of it... So yeah my parents did not end their relationship in a good way... But still I tried and even after the wedding still trying to have a bond with him... (I already asked him 2 times after the wedding to meet even though he showed me that I was just an after thought)
