  • 02
    Font - Hi all. My son David is getting married early next year. For the wedding we invited everyone in the family except my brother's family, and I've had my parents and sister calling me constantly demanding I change my mind.
  • 03
    Font - My daughter Martha is 20. Her ambition since she was little was to become a firefighter. Unfortunately in 2019 she was diagnosed with epilepsy, and while it isn't impossible to do that job with the condition, it's much more difficult, so her dream is essentially over.
  • 04
    Font - Martha was devastated. She got a job as a waitress while she figures out what she'd do instead. She hates the job but it's an income.
  • 05
    Font - Not long after she got the waitress job, we went for lunch with my parents. My brother's family were there, including his daughter Leah. She's two years older than Martha, and is a medical student, studying at our country's top university.

    Font - Leah was trying to annoy Martha. She kept calling her "waitress" and demanding she bring her food. Martha told her to stop, but Leah said she was a doctor and fetching food was the only thing "little people" like Martha were useful for. Martha was on the verge of tears.
  • 07
    Font - She picked up a container and threw curry sauce at Leah, which ruined the dress she was wearing.
  • 08
    Font - Leah ran sobbing to her dad, who called Martha a "bully", despite Leah having a long history of picking on Martha. My parents and sister sided with them too, because apparently getting a pretty dress ruined is worse than having your dream crushed.
  • 09
    Font - We left immediately after, and I've had no contact at all with my brother for the past two years. When we invited everyone to my son's wedding, my parents were angry that we left my brother and his family out. For what it's worth, David fully supports not inviting them.
  • 10
    Font - I've said that I will consider inviting them only if Leah apologises for how she behaved towards Martha. My parents have accused me of "dragging out a petty grudge". I'm sorry but what Leah said and did was unforgivable.
  • 11
    Font - She tried to torment my daughter during the worst time of her life when she was grieving her dream and felt completely vulnerable. And she's been doing that sort of thing for years.
  • 12
    Font - It's David's special day, and I want all of us to enjoy it. That means keeping Leah away from Martha. Are we doing the right thing?
  • 13
    Font - OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole: I'm not inviting my brother's family to my son's wedding despite the rest of the family being there, because of a dispute that happened over two years ago.

Its worrying that this person with no empathy will become a doctor and interact with vulnerable people who are going through the worst times of their lives. I pray for all those patients that come in contact with her. I hope they survive their encounter.
