Most of us regret times when we are put in a position where bad feelings are a result, especially after the person was close to us and even if they weren’t that nice themselves.
Your father had other children so why was he so adamant to have your daughter have his family name? Perhaps he was just cantankerous that day and took it out on you. Anyway that is water under the bridge now.
I’m sorry the last meeting with your father was unpleasant . You would be surprised how often this happens. 🤗
Thanks for the comment @redheadpei.
An eternally unresolved disagreement that one person has to bear is not ideal, and as you say, it definitely isn't just me.
Yeah, there are others and a half-brother who will continue the name, although this far they are yet to bring that into action. Cheers :)
