Imagine that, I am asking for guidance again. I know a lot of my posts might not be the most upbeat but darn, I’ve been beaten down within the last year. As some of you might know my father passed away from a sudden heart attack almost a year ago. To commemorate the one year mark of his passing my mother and I will be scattering his ashes.
I will be an emotional SOB. I probably won’t be a strong, confident man on that day which is only a couple weeks away. Here’s my question. There’s three additional people who I might invite to attend. My W and our two kids.
My W loved my father but she’s consistently said some incredibly rude remarks about him over the years. The one that really sticks out was when she said “ I don’t care that he died” (I don’t know if W truly meant it, maybe it way out of frustration). She was always pleasant to my father but she despised him in a lot of ways.
She’s always felt that I was raised improperly by my father and that a lot of my shortcomings are a direct correlation of how he raised me. In other words, my father made a lot of mistakes throughout his life and W feels that I am less of a person because there was a lack of morals and guidance instilled in my upbringing.
I don’t know if I should let my W and kids know we are having the ceremony?
