My siblings and I officially went NC with our dad and step mom a little over a year ago. (NC letter and everything) Bio-Mom passed away when we were young kids.
We still have good relationships with a lot of extended relatives on both sides of the family.
It’s become clear our dad isn’t interesting in attempting to repair anything and I think I’ve mostly made peace with that.
I’m getting married within the next year or so, and want to invite extended family, but know that word will likely get back to him and I’m concerned about how he’ll react. In the past he’s tried to keep up appearances/be seen as a “good” guy, but that has slipped over the last few years and isn’t a reliable stopgap anymore.
For those that are NC and have gotten married within that time, how did you navigate the potential of them showing up uninvited or other reactions?

Finally got my exam application approved after an audit 🫠
How long did you give yourself to study? Did you feel prepared/like it was enough time? Does anyone feel like they gave themselves too much time?
