Hello. I am an adopted child, and I am the only child and daughter of my parents. My mother has passed away. I am not close to my dad, and I have a strained relationship with him. My parents never wanted me to trust others, so they prevented me from socializing and meeting new people. They were very adamant about it, and I was very obedient until I went to college, where I began to make friends and meet new people, which they did not like. They did not want me to visit my friends without them, but I eventually got tired of them and started to live my life with normal boundaries, which they did not like. My father wanted me to live with him until marriage, which I refused. He wanted me to get a government job, but I chose to start my own business. I decided to get a tattoo, and he yelled at me. He eventually stopped talking to me, saying that I had broken his trust. I have never lied to him, stolen from him, or insulted him, but he thinks I did because I took control of my life and made my own decisions. I am 25 years old and about to get married in a month. My fiancé and I have known each other for five years and have lived together for the last year. We have already told all our friends and family about the wedding and have not invited my dad. He does not know anything about it and we plan to call him after the wedding. He thinks that we will get married in 5-7 years, but we want to get married now because we want a small wedding with only close people and not have a big wedding with his relatives, which would be tiring and expensive. I am not close to my dad and do not have a good relationship with him, so I do not want him to know about the wedding. If he does, he will only cause trouble. AITA for not inviting my father to the wedding?
