My grandma: "I've been to all my grandchildrens' graduations" Also my grandma: *didn't come to my graduation and instead went on vocation*

So, I'm not one of the grandchildren then? Thanks person who I thought was my grandma. Means a real lot to know that not only was it more important for you to go on vocation (and lie about it as well) right when you knew in advance about the graduation date but that even now years later you tell everyone that you went to all the graduations of your grandchildren. When my dad confronted you about it you said I didn't count. I feel real loved. Don't mind me while I go soak in a tub full of bleach and tears.
No, but seriously. at this point I'm not even sure if I should invite her to my college graduation next year because she probably won't come to that either and I don't need to spend another graduation day feeling like shit over people who don't consider me as family.

I would look her straight in the face and yell SPLEEEEEN

then invite her to your graduation. not another word about your high school graduation. take comfort in being the bigger person.

if nothing else, she might be good for a graduation gift - and whether you send her a thank you note or not is up to you.

@approachingmyexpirationdate The thing is that I don't mention my high school graduation to her though. It's her who constantly likes to tell people how she went to all her grandkids graduations. I'd be over it if it wasn't something she did all the time. I probably will invite her just because it's the right thing to do but it's just disappointing to think that she probably will not come since she's showed no interest in the fact that I will be graduating soon. I really don't care about getting a gift or not to be honest. It would just be nice if she was there but if she doesn't want to come then I can't force her to.
@NaturallyPeculiar you will never regret taking the high road.

@approachingmyexpirationdate That's true. I just hope this time she will come, but if she doesn't then there's nothing I can really do about it but suck it up and not let it get to me like it did before.
@NaturallyPeculiar in the meantime you can always vent your spleen
