That's so ****** up I hope your nieces parent(s) stood up for her. I wouldn't want to be in any "family" pictures without my kids, it is utterly horrible for your father to try to do that.. Honestly I wouldn't want to be in a family picture if another tried to leave any adopted family out.

But did the girlfriend get to be in the family picture?

As an adopted child, it is hard enough as it is to feel a part of the family. I hope your niece didn't take it too hard. FHL it seems like. Also, I imagine you'll need to relax after that catastrophic event, I hope you found some peace.

I feel badly for your poor niece more than anyone else there. **** her life, and no offense, but your dad seems like somewhat of a prick.

I don't think your brother's girlfriends are the crazy ones.

I needed to read that twice

Are you related to honey boo boo ?because then this might make sense.

*your* adopted niece.... so his (your dad's) grandchild (adopted or not. would still be grandchild in most's opinion)? because that makes me feel even worse for that poor girl. But it could be worse. My great aunt was racist and rejected her son's adopted Asian daughter completely. it was her loss though. her son cut her out. sad thing is we all got cut out in the process except for one of my uncles (the sons cousin) because his daughter decided to go to college in our area (most of this side of my family is in New York. or Italy if you go back one more generation. but i digress) and it was my uncles Almer mater so he became her emergency contact. So idk. if your dad is 50+ and was never a hippie than he might be the type who can't comprehend a non typical nuclear family. That does mean he can't learn though. Obviously you see the issue. you could probably talk to your dad better than your nieces parents as they might get angry to the point your father won't respond well and won't learn from his mishap as he or any decenrt human being should. going by very simplistic psychology as I obviously don't know your family. on a side note, the adjective crazy before the word girlfriend is getting reallyyyy old yo.

Your sister's mistake may cause awkwardness but it's a simple mistake. however your dad is a jerk and I hope atleast some of yall stood up for your niece and refused to take that photo or any photo with your dad in it. He should have a taste of his own medicine.

RE: your Sis, how long has your brother been with CXG#1? slip of the tongue is an honest mistake. RE: your Dad, he's a total douche bag.
