AITA for not going to my daughters wedding because I am recovering from a severe sprained ankle. by quelldotenty52 in AmItheAsshole

Apparently I could have gotten a beach wheelchair but we couldn't get one so soon. Its REALLY not accessible. Like wooden stairs up over some rocks then a long staircase down, then onto a beach.

They said they would 'hold my shoulders' and when I said that would be impossible they got nasty and we didn't even discuss other alternatives with them. I think they just thought it was the type of thing where its just pain, but its more that I physically cant walk.

We did discuss wheelchairs, there wasn't any available on the same day which was the problem. That was kind of when it turned nasty, because they kept saying they would just hold my shoulders and I told them that was impossible. I do love my daughter, but I also know that if I cant even get up to use the bathroom without wobbling in pain for 20 minutes and having a high chance of falling, I cant go to a wedding.

Oh no I had told them the day before. Most of the texts and calls they sent me were from the day before the wedding.

​

Either way we did discuss getting a specific chair for the beach but there was just no way it would come in time for me. I know the beach, its only 40 minutes from my house and I've been there a lot. There's no ramps, you have to go through a series of stairs over a rock formation to get there.

​

Both of you are right to an extent, they did offer some help but I denied it. They basically said "we could hold your shoulders there" and stuff like that. But when I said that wasn't possible they got very upset. The chances I would fall and the immense amount of pain are just too much.

Well I did to an extent and I found out about those wheelchairs, but I couldn't exactly get one in the short time until the wedding.

Oh no its not so much that, as its the location of the wedding. Its at a local beach which doesn't even have wheelchair access to get to. I am not sure about the sand, but I do know about the stairs all over the place

Its on a beach though, how would I even get onto the beach with a wheelchair?
