I never thought my wedding — a day I’ve dreamed about since I was a little girl — would be tainted by this much family drama. For years, I’ve kept strict no-contact with my father after the chaos, neglect, and emotional damage he put me through as a child. He’s never been part of my milestones, never been there when I needed him, and I made my peace with that. My grandma has always known how much this decision means to me… so when she went behind my back and told him about my upcoming wedding.

Let’s find out how what other Redditors think about this story.
I feel betrayed — not just by my grandma for ignoring my boundaries, but by the fact that my father suddenly wants to “be involved” when it’s convenient for him. This wedding is supposed to be about love, joy, and the family I’ve built for myself… not reopening old wounds or playing happy family for the sake of appearances. So… AITA for blowing up at my grandma for telling my estranged dad about my wedding?
