issue was her parents divorce and her dad being an asshole. i think she should move on as it was 10+ years ago but she can't seem to get over it.

What were the circumstances that led to the estrangement? I'm inclined to think that if a 33 year old woman is estranged from her father, the father was likely a gaping asshole.

father cheated on her mom back in the day (when wife was 18 or so), her parents got divorced, he married woman he was having affair with and moved to bali, wife thinks her mom was short-changed financially in divorce.

also, wife didn't want him to bring his new wife to our wedding; she ultimately got her way but he renegged on paying for 1/4 of wedding cost. that was pretty much the straw that broke the camels back in that she subsequently cut off all contact post-wedding (which was 2+ years ago).

that's what i told her in the first place. i mean, i don't blame the guy for being annoyed that he can't bring his own wife to the wedding of his daughter.

her mom was fine with the new wife coming, it was just her who had an issue with it, so, yeah, she held out knowing the financial consequences so i guess i respect her for that.

no, my wife was 18 at the time; her mom would have been in her 40s. they were reasonably well-off and her dad was an accountant who predominantly worked in asia (but was based in australia) so it's entirely possible he had money that he didn't share.

My two rules:

- don't pick a name that will get him beaten up in school every day for having a faggy or girly name
