Yes an AH on both counts, by not paying for the wedding you reinforced her opinion of you as a bad figure and proved she was right and then you shoved her dead Dad in her face, bet that made you feel real good, and the better person. Sure you will regret it in time, when she has kids you won’t see.
Unkind of you but understandable. She kept hurting you and you finally hurt her back. So many post about kids that keep striking out at siblings and parents that don’t do exactly what they think they should do and we are all supposed to overlook it because of “trauma”. What about her mother’s trauma, her siblings trauma? OP’s trauma? Why doesn’t their trauma count? She gets to lash out for years but everyone else is just supposed to sit quietly while she hurts them over and over. OP was fed up. Call me for money after the way you have acted and treated me badly? Get your real dad to pay! Yeah, that would have been my answer too.
