I F(20) is graduating from college this coming Friday. (may 8th) my mom (F 47) and dad (M 50) aren’t together and it’s been like that for years. They have found their own person like my dad has a GF, but the issue with my sister and mom is that they feel they can’t live without a man and constantly have to be with them or they only last a short time and they are onto the next. Well with my graduation coming up I only have 5 tickets, out of those tickets I picked my mom, sister, dad and my 2 grandparents to go (I only have 1 grandmother and grandfather left on each side of them family) to make sure all my important immediate family can come see me.
My mom and sister weren’t having it - they felt their partners needed to be there with the follow remark of “well what if it gets boring and takes to long” I was already stressed out enough with also graduating and planning the party and transferring for my next study program. In the heat of the moment if the argument between the 2 I made the reply: “well maybe if you both could stay with 1 person and take time find someone u actually enjoy spending time with - you wouldn’t need them around 24/7 to make up for it”.
Now i know it sounds cruel but my mom and sister date for 1 thing - money; and if they can’t give it they leave or cheat. Just how my mom did my dad.
With that being said she said I was self centered and selfish and I worried that I was and that I may have overreacted and just spoke in the heat of the moment. All my life my mom has stole the spot light from about all my achievements and whenever I achieved something and would text her about it- she would just say “okay” or would change to subject about her relationship problems or her financial problems and how she’s miserable and her man doesn’t help or something like that - then try’s to ask me for money. So what do you think- Did I overreact? Am I overreacting?
