My family knew since Thanksgiving that I had two graduations. They made a big deal not showing up to both of them. It hurt me a lot. Everyone’s family was there except mine. No one had to work. My family lives 30 minutes away from my university.My mom, sister, and brother did not attend. They acting as if it was my fault that I was graduating. Last week, my family and I were planning my father’s funeral and my mother returned my graduation tickets. She asked me ” you want your tickets” I just said “yeah” out of shock.
How to move past this?
What was the point of my mom giving back my tickets?

Well, are they depressed that your father passed away? maybe they wanted to celebrate a big moment in your life when everyone wasn’t grieving. Either way, I am sorry they weren’t there for you, and I am sorry about your father. That is a complicated situation, and people become self absorbed with bad things happen. Its like they forget about the rest of the world until they are done grieving… and maybe that’s how they needed to be.
Wow I’m so sorry. That sucks and will hurt forever. I will cry if everyone elses’ families were there but not mys. You can’t get past something like that.
Although talking to them about it will help.
I have no idea why your mom gave you them back.
You should talk to them about it.
Anyways, congrats!! Hope you achieved all of your dreams and goals!!:)
Good luck!!:)
Was your Dad ill on May 8th? If so, don’t you think that takes top billing over everything else?
If he just dropped on the 30th, I can understand you being upset about the 8th.
Burn the tickets and move on to your future. You have MUCH more important things to think about these days.
There has to be more to this story. I mean was your dad sick? Did you and your family have some kind of falling out? Are you and your family close? There has to be a reason for them to just not show up.
I’m sorry to hear about your father.
What do you mean that they made a big deal about it? Did they post about not going to your graduations on social networking sites? Did you mean to say that your graduation was on June 8th and not May 8th?
I just had my ceremony for my Associates degree and the only people there were my 5 and 7 year old and my boyfriend. Yes, my mother knew about it for about 2 years, but she was not there. I knew that she would not be able to come down and see me walk across the stage and it broke my heart. I can understand where you are coming from, but I think that you need to remember the important thing is that you graduated!
Perhaps your mom was giving your tickets back to you so that you keep them as a keepsake. The only way to get past this is to either forget about it and move on, or talk to your mom about it.
Did your father die on May 30th. suddenly? Or was he sick before he died? I’m not sure what your relationship with your parents is. Did they do this to you before when you had other activities, like your
graduation from high school? Why I ask is because I know some parent’s just don’t make the effort to
participate in their children’s life’s. Have they always been there for you, you need to investigate what you have done to them for them to act this way. Can you speak to them about this and ask why?
I just feel there is more to this story then what is being told. Too little info for me to give a decent answer,sorry.
