Ok, this is the deal in a nutshell. I have told my dad for the last 7 months to save his vacation time so that we can get together during my husband's R&R. Hubby has gotten lots of medals and promotions and has been interviewed with Washington Post did really great this year in Iraq. Anyway, I told dad since last MARCH that we are having a family reunion in September for his R&R and so that he can see our babies that have grown a lot (its been over a year since he seen them).
Anyway, we got the news of R&R days this MONDAY and now its FRIDAY and dad still wont return my calls or respond to the email invitation.
I am so hurt by this and ashamed. Should I just act casual what would you do if your dad was like that to you? He is remarried to another woman and its been like this with him for years and I had no graduation day, no wedding gathering from their side etc etc. I really don't know how to take all this but I had this feeling for months that he wasn't going to show up or that we would have a big falling out. Any advice would help me a lot! Also my husband thinks now that my dad doesn't like him and it makes me feel even worse...
