My parents were married for 31 years. They separated when I was 16, and 4 years later, the divorce is final. In the beginning my mom cried alot, and I felt like I had to stay with her all the time to take care of her, while my father went out partying. 4 long years later, My mom and dad are able to talk and have dinner, and my relationship with my dad is great. My mom invited him to spend Thanksgiving with us (and my mom's family) this year. When my aunt found out she threw a fit, part of the reason was because she never got along with him, and the other part is she hates him for leaving his family. So even though my mom and I forgave him and moved on, my aunt has not. Is it fair to invite my dad if it pisses off the rest of the family? I really don't want to choose!

Your aunt should grow up. If your mom has forgiven him then she should as well. Doesn't mean they have to be buddies or hang out. Your dad is still Your family. He has every right to be there w/ you, your mom and the rest of your family. I had an uncle that would still come over for thanksgiving and Christmas after he divorced my aunt and no one ever treated him bad.

you don't need to choose. this is between your mom and your aunt. if your aunt wants to sit around and bad mouth you dad to you, simply tell her that this is your father and although she is your aunt that you love them both and you really don't appreciate her talking bad about him to you. other than that i would just stay out of it as best that you can.

If you both , mother / daughter are strong enough and are not depending on any ones mercy , please do invite him with all the love you are keeping for him , if you both are dependent ,then do not create more unhappy scene in your place . Good luck to all of you .
