<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

So here is a bit of a background......I am trying to be as brief as possible

Father came here from the DR, very hard worker, good family man.  Older cousin comes here shows father "fast life", ruins marriage with my mom, and subsequently I haven't seen or heard from my father in 16 years. I am 29.  

I started working for a new firm, so if you google my name, it will come up.  Early this week I get a phone call from my cousin, (whom I have never met/don't remember).  Then my Aunt (fathers sister) calls me. Oh blah blah blah, we have been trying to find you we miss you we want to reconnect.  Whatever shitty things my father did/does, his sisters/mother never were involved and were always generally great to me.

We fell out of touch for whatever reasons, I was a kid, and I just kinda troopered on. Went to private school, went away to college, law school etc....

They want to reconnect but it is giving my mom. My mom and I were pretty much alone growing up. She worked VERY hard to give me a great life. Elite private school, Ivy League education. Personal trainers for football/nutrition b/c i was an athlete. Pretty much I had an amazing childhood, never needed for anything.

My mom is resentful they never contacted me all these years, and since I am getting married is somewhat reluctant for them to be able to "enjoy" my wedding since they werent around.  Also, she is worried that if I reconnect with them, I may reconnect with my father and throw away things I and she have worked for to live in "the fast lane."  My mother is worried that they may be a) looking for somehting b) worries my dad might try to lure me into his lifestyle.  This is giving my mom anxiety and I was wondering how reddit would approach this situation.

My intent is this, to see my dads side of the family, reconnect but be cautious and not hasty and we will see how the relationship develops over the next year (when I am getting married). They were pretty good to me during my childhood, and have good memories of that side of the family.
<bot>: Fathers side of the family is reconnecting. Mom is reluctant because father is gigantic POS and I havent spoken to him in almost 20 years.
