Long story, pardon me for that.
I am one of 5 siblings, 3 girls and 2 boys.
My parents were well educated, but my father was an industrial worker.
I was very good in school up to middle school.
The fall in grades occurred due to physical abuse by both parents.
I moved across the country, a 10-hour drive away, to escape the toxic situation.
My siblings were a part of this behaviour.
My wife underwent major invasive surgery; no one came to visit her in the hospital.
She was alone at home in bed post-surgery as I had to travel for work.
Practical strangers helped, while the family refused.
She got married, but I wasnt invited.
I wasnt shown pictures of the events, though I asked they said they forgot to take pictures.
Nothing was done to make us feel included.
I have decided to break all contact with the family, as the disrespect crossed a red line.
Certainly, we wont attend the wedding party.
AITA for the estrangement?
