I Am Graduating College
I am so upset, furious, and devastated by what my parents have done to me.
I don't have the best relationship with my grandpa. He abandoned my family for ten plus years and only appears in dollar signs. He helped pay for my college tuition but that still doesn't change how I feel about him. My mom invited my grandfather without talking to me about it. It's my ceremony so I feel like it should be no one's choice but mine to choose who gets to attend considering I only get one ceremony. She invited him and his wife who is horrible to everyone. I am so pissed that she did this. She's just using my graduation to have a family reunion because she knows the only way her father would come is if he had an excuse. This moment should be about me and what makes me feel comfortable and my mom just took advantage of this situation.
She doesn't care how upset I am about this. She thinks my reasons for hating my grandfather are stupid and I should be thankful that he helped pay for my school. While I may be thankful for that, that still doesn't make up for not being there for me physically and emotionally and I don't understand why that never crosses her mind. She just feels that because he's old, she feels guilty but I don't believe its the number of years that matters. It's the way you live those number of years and he hasn't made up for them.
