Thanks for all the support and advice guys!

Definitely been thinking a lot at the moment how I think I just need justification and confirmation - so think you might be right on the money with what you've said Me and my Dog - thanks!

Eloping would be amazing and you're right really exciting but I would really miss having my friends on my big day and they are some of the most important people in my life at the moment - I also think that my Dad wouldn't impose and as mentioned he has no family that would be there. I also don't think that his wife would let him!

Hvert and everybody else who mentioned cutting off ties with their parents - sorry to hear we have very similar situations - it's so frustrating but what I will take from it - is that it has definitely made me a stronger person as well as being more conscious about the way I treat people around me in the future - always a silver lining right?

Thanks again for all the advice! My friend also told me to write a letter to my Dad - even if you don't send it - it might help you work through your thoughts and feelings further. Might get right on that!
