I am still sad that my mom did not throw me a graduation party. Am I being petty? (sister, college)

thanks for assuming you know everything about the situation. Like the times when everyone went out and I was the home who stayed home to take care of my grandma. Or when my mother or aunt needed a break and had no one else to help out but I stayed to help. pssst. I have grown up and I do the best i can to help my family. In fact, I put my family's needs ahead of my own. Don't assume when you don't know...
I have told her before. i did not appreciate that she would brush it off. I am not selfish. when she brings up things that upset her, i listen, i try to understand. why should i not expect the same? When the tables are reversed, and she wants someone to listen to her, do something special for her, or help her out in anyway, I do. If I were to do something that upset her in some way, without me realizing it, I would apologize. And I would regret the fact that I hurt someone I loved. That's just what you are supposed to do. Anyway this thread is getting silly. I'm done.
Thanks for not giving us that additional info in your other posts; not that it changes much, if anything. Don't assume that others could just have assumed that background data without your having so stated it.
I read the title of this thread, looked to see what was entailed and saw it went 6 pages.
Why do people post this stuff? Do people lack friends they can talk with and are left with typing their 1st world woes into a keyboard for all to see and maybe give some real insightful counseling online?
Why did I feel compelled to type this? Never again.
I can't help but think of my friend who decided not to attend her daughters high school graduation in favor of taking her boyfriend to the airport instead. She's not even divorced yet either. At least your mom was there at the ceremony that you didn't even want to attend. I'm sorry you're hurting over this but it will be a distant memory some day. Try to keep it in perspective and find another way to make yourself happy. Here's a cyber hug for you.
This self entitlement phase of life has GOT TO GO!
I graduated early from High School and packed my crap up and left while my parents got divorced. When it came to college no one person took a picture - not a one. At dinner my dad got up and said he and his current wife had a therapist appointment and left.
And you want a party - HA
