My Daughter Forbade Me from Attending Her Graduation Due To Her Dad’s Ultimatum

A woman, in her 40s, shared her emotional story on the “AITA” subreddit. Her 18-year-old daughter, B, desired to invite her estranged father to her graduation party a week before the event. The father imposed a condition that the woman couldn’t attend if he did. Hurt and betrayed, the woman argued with B, who insisted on her father’s presence for milestone moments.

Despite the woman’s plea, B remained firm. On the day of the graduation, B’s father abandoned her again, leaving her in tears. The woman chose not to attend, teaching B that actions have consequences. B, feeling embarrassed, screamed at her mother. The woman grappled with regret but stood by her decision.

An update revealed B consistently prioritized her father over the past decade, with no signs of manipulation. B idealized her relationship with her father. In a bitter conversation, B affirmed prioritizing her father, causing the woman frustration. The aftermath saw the woman attempting contact with B’s father, who accused B of aggression, stalking, and threats. B blamed her mother for the relationship breakdown, cut off contact, and left for college.

The woman, relieved but hurt, focused on self-improvement, acknowledging imperfections in their relationship.
