質問: よろしくお願いします i got married six months ago. my relationship with my family is at best distant—we don’t have a lot in common and there were several incidents of what i’ve been told most people would call abuse (but i’m not there yet, mentally speaking). my dad is a racist, sexist creep. i’ve managed to get him to tone it down around me enough that i can handle a monthly phone call, but that’s my limit. i really didn’t want him to walk me down the aisle, but by the end of the engagement, i was so burned out on decision-making that i just didn’t have the strength for that conversation, with him or any of my many relatives who would have demanded an explanation. his behavior was horrible. he was so drunk at the rehearsal that i had to hold him up as we walked down the aisle, at best distantとhold him upはどのような意味でしょうか?よろしくお願いします
