Dear Amanda,

I despise my stepmom, however, my dad insists I invite my step monster to my wedding. She and my dad have been married since I was a teenager, and the relationship between us never developed. I think she’s annoying, intrusive, and dresses like a peacock. My fear, if I choose to invite her, is that she’ll turn the day into a day all about her. I am at a loss, because I love my dad with all my heart, but can’t stand his overly decorated wife. What should I do?

Dear Unfortunate Step Child

You have a few options. However, the first thing I would do is have a heart to heart with you dad. Has he decided not to attend if you don’t invite your step mom?
