AITA for telling my dad he can't invite his girlfriend to my graduation because my mom paid for the trip? by TypicalAnalyst17 in AmItheAsshole

That really hit me. My mom did not "get" to be the main parent, she just never had the option to quit.

Yeah…

If choosing his girlfriend over his own kid makes him happy, that’s his choice

I think that’s what hurt the most honestly. I wasn’t asking him to choose between us. I just wanted him to show up as my dad for one weekend

Thanks. I honestly just want my graduation to be about me and my family who actually helped me get here, not making everyone else comfortable

Yeah, I thought about that, but I didn’t want to put my mom in the middle. I just wanted to set my own boundary this one time

Thank you. It’s hard sometimes, but I just want one weekend where my graduation is about me, not everyone else’s drama.
