how crappy is that? i can't believe your mother would be so cold, but it sounds like there's mucho emotional baggage in regard to your dad (and FL is his turf and all...supposedly...) i guess all i can say is i hope you don't let it get in the way of a celebration - be proud, lex! and thank god for all the other great things in your life, right? oh, and good luck with finals!
thanks, hun. good luck on your finals, too! i'd ask you to come out to chicago if you could because i'm going to be there may 5ish to may 11, or so...and i dont think i'll be able to make it out to des moines this time around like last year. but i know that's during your finals week, so i guess i'm not expecting too many kids to be up for it.
let me know if you are though! and i'll for sure let you know if i'm able to go out that way for a short visit :)
thats fucked up. i mean, i understand why you all thought inviting her last time would cause tension, but not inviting her was prolly a worse idea. but, WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE i cannot believe your mom is being so petty and childish as to allow this grudge to get in the way of watching you graduate.
i mean, i know she can hold a grudge, but this is beyond a normal grudge.
fuck it. enjoy the day with your dad and dont let her pull you into her little pity party b/c shes pissed at your dad. i know shes your mom and you obviously would be bummed if she didnt come, but try to revel in the good part of your dad and uncle coming to celebreate with you, they should, this is something to celebrate!
well, i know for a fact she probably wouldnt have gone to that dinner anyway because my dad was there. I mean, i felt pretty shitty because she wasnt there...but it was in good intention that she not be there. i remember my brother taking her and i out to lunch the day before (or the day after) and spending time with her. so i guess that dinner (in my brother's eyes) was for some time spent with my dad who was only up there for his graduation for a day or so (and we NEVER get to see him, so...)
I dont know. you know how my mom can be so negative about this kinda shit. it's driving me CRAZY!
but i wont let it ruin my graduation... it'll just be on my mind. but i'll ignore all her negativity about it. heh
you know what baby, if your mom is going to miss out on important parts of your life like this because of pride issues and holding grudges, then so be it. its her loss. there is no forcing issues like these. there will be many people there who love and support you and woulndnt miss this for the world. if she cant bring herself to do the same...
