This was our experience.    Very nice, fun, and all, until after the wedding.  Things started to go downhill bit by bit afterwards, but once she had their baby, that was all she wrote.  Fewer invites over.  Nastiness on the phone or with dad out of earshot on vacation.  Coincidentally, ha, moved to another state a few years later (I was in college by then and siblings in HS).  Siblings' weekly visits turned into 2-3 times per year.   Fully estranged before their daughter was 8.   No blow ups.  Just a gradual ghosting of all us first marriage kids.  I didn't know the term at time, but ghosting fits.   [/quote]

The ghosting is on your dad, no?  He's the one responsible for maintaining a relationship with you and your siblings.  Some men aren't good at maintaining relationships with their adult kids.  If my parents weren't still married, I'm not sure I'd see my dad much.  My mom is the glue.  [/quote]
