My heart hurts

I sent my dad the letter on Friday. He got it yesterday. He's angry and very hurt. I understand how he's feeling. I can empathize. But I also feel like I've made the right decision. I talked to his this morning with Jen in the conference room with me. It was so hard to talk to him. He wasn't even listening. He just kept saying how hurt he is. I can't help that I hurt him, but I have to be true to myself and how I feel. Right? He kept saying "This is all about you, isn't it? It's not about anyone else." You're right Dad. My wedding is all about me and Mike. It's all about US getting married. It's not about you! It's not about Mom! It's not about anyone else. It's about US and OUR relationship. It is MY day to be the bride. It's MIKE's day to be the groom. It's not HIS day to be my dad. He's had that role for the past 28 years. It doesn't make it any easier to know that the decision I've made is the right one for me. It doesn't make it any easier to hear from my dad how horrible I am and how disappointed in me he is. It doesn't make it any easier to know all this. Now I'm going to stop writing before I start to cry again and can't stop. My eyes are getting too raw!
