My father still has an out of wedlock grandson he hasn't claimed claimed :francis:

I don't care about shame and conventions...
Yeah, you could say that. Nigerian parents are really concerned about not bringing shame or embarrassment to the family. My fiance's people tried that shyt controlling shyt with me, I ain't the one. I been through too much in my life already, I got my life together, and I got a momma to tell me what to do.

This! Who is this man?? Where is my father???? The man who raised me was better than this!!!

Who is this weak, frail, insecure man who cannot control his emotions??
I mean, I am scared for the grandkids.
EXACTLY. SMH. My 2 brothers would have came and fukk some shyt up, if somebody laid a hand on me or my sisters. Your fiance is a patient.
In laws too

There is a level... there is a line... there is a boundary.

If you let your parents cross these with 0 repercussions, they will never respect those boundaries.

I hate it csme to this, but God knows I gave that man every opportunity to stop.... but he just couldn't help himself. :francis:




Coli parents out there, don't be your kids number 1 adversary.... do better thsn my father did :francis:

OP..

Don't let anyone tell you how to deal with your pops. Everyone's relationship with their folks is different.

Perhaps you don't want to go I to detail about what specific things he has done for you to uninvite him to your wedding, but I know that you are doing what you feel is best for your to be family.

Some parents be doing the most and are super controlling. Some parents can't see their kids as adults and will treat their kids like they are still kids.

Maybe one day, you and your pops can reconcile y'all differences, especially if he sees that you are handling your business..

Good luck with the nuptials! Best wishes to ya! Salute!

Damn, that's cold breh.
I saw your title n was about to come in here shaking my finger at you, especially since my fam lost my dad last year n that ish still hurts....but, I was blessed to have a supremely supportive father, both spiritually, mentally and financially.
It sucks that HE put you in this position, but remember that it was HIM.
So this isn't your weight to bear, in truth.
And you're definitely right.
If you weren't willing to cut him out for her, then you probably wouldn't be ready to marry her.
HER.
She's your priority right now, n since I imagine she loves you, she's probably rubbing your back, but she needs you to rub hers as well.
She's marrying into a family where it seems like the patriarch doesn't value her, so now you're the patriarch breh.
Period.
Change in regime.
I've realized that most parents love their kids, but also, many parents have problems relinquishing control, even over adult offspring.
"If he/she loves me, she/he'll submit to me. Especially after everything I sacrificed and did for them."
That's not a cross that we have to bear.
Fukk Confucian philosophy.

Hold your head up breh.
