[quote=Anonymous]Your stepsister likely views your dad as a father figure.  People often have people who are their closest ledge male relatives walk them down the aisle if thei fathers aren't around, whether they have died, are estranged, or for any other reason aren't available.  So perhaps you could try to see the do Tustin in tthAt light.

I seems the real issue is that you may not feel uniquely treasured and lived by your dad, that he has come to love someone else's child in the same way he lives you.  You absluty should not suggest whether he should walk her down the aisle.  He us your father, though, and you can work with him on your relationship.  I think it's normal and reasonable to feel anxious or upset that you are sharing your parent with someone who isn't a full sibling if yours.  Deal with those feelings, which really aren't about the wedding at all.  Sometimes parents don't realize thatvtheir bio children can feel replaced by younger stepchildren.  Talk with him and he may be able to reassure you how important you are to him.[/quote]
