You should devote all of your loyalty to your family because they are the most important people in the world.

The story below is of a frustrated stepdaughter. When OP was a small child, her parents divorced. Following the divorce, OP's mother married a different man, with whom she had a child. At first, everything was going great; finally, they had the family they had always dreamed of, but they soon found out that the husband had been having an affair since the wedding.

A few years later, all of the children have grown up, and OP's half-brother proposes to his true love. Theoretically, this should be a joyous occasion, but the celebration was dashed when OP's brother said he wanted 'both' of his mothers to accompany him down the aisle… Yes, when the brother says 'both mothers', he means both his real mother and the woman who was once his father's mistress.

When OP discovers what had transpired between her mother and brother, she is appalled and makes the courageous decision to completely forego the wedding. So, having said that, check out the story below to learn more about what happened between OP and her brother and whether or not she ended up going to his wedding! After you're through, make sure to read the story about the woman that insists that her sister leave her best friend's wedding!

    My brother knows this. Yet when he got engaged he said he wanted "both moms" to walk him down the aisle before his fiancée was walked by her parents. The first words out of the other woman's mouth was how he'd have one real, classy woman next to him on the day. My brother said nothing and my mom told him she wasn't going to do it.

    AITA for RSVPing no to my brother's wedding for my family even after he begged me to let us all attend?

    I (34F) have a younger brother (technically half) from my mom who is 26 and he is getting married. My brother's dad and my mom were engaged for a couple of years when my brother came along. When he was 1 my mom found out his dad was cheating. His dad packed up and moved in

    thr33l3gg3dc4t - 20 hr. ago This is what happens when women try to hide the truth from their kids about a divorce. They think taking the high road is better until their selfish child that they birthed does something like this. I feel really bad for the bio mom and hope her son can see things clearly one day.

    Impossible-Paint6720 OP · 20 hr. ago You get shamed a lot though if you do tell your kids the truth. Everyone says you need to keep kids out of adult business. But then this can be the consequence too. It's one of those things where you can be judged harshly for either.

    ratchetgothchick - 21 hr. ago Partassipant [1] NTA. The brother needs to start acting like an adult and telling step-mom to back off and stop talking c p. I feel bad for his soon-to-be spouse. If he let's his mother get treated this way, who knows how he'll let his spouse

    Impossible-Paint6720 OP. 20 hr. ago I don't think he'll ever reach that point. Maybe he'll only start to think badly enough of her if she drops him now that she's "won" and gets the top prize. It's not like she treats him the same as her bio kids so it wouldn't shock me too much.

    Impossible-Paint6720 OP. 21 hr. ago Part of me wonders if now that this other woman has won, if she doesn't just stop the act and doesn't go to the wedding either since he's not her kid or anything. I feel like he'd deserve it after all of this. But that might be harsh.
