[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is about your son, not you. Your son decides and you support the decision he makes. [/quote]

The only reason that young man is in college is because of my (and my husband’s) parenting and our labor.[/quote]

Doesn't matter. The young man is an adult and can make his own decisions. It's not his fault his dad wasn't in his life (not saying it was yours either, op), but it's also not his fault to still want a relationship with his dad. [/quote]

This is a stretch. How does not being invited to a single event equate to me not wanting him to have a relationship with his father? I say nothing about him seeing or communicating with his father. I simply don't want him at the graduation ceremony. A ceremony only happening because I've paid for his college the last four years (and prepared from for college the 18 years before that). It'd be like inviting him to a $100,000 steak dinner I'm paying for. Maybe I'd consider letting him come, if he first wants to write me a $50,000 check for a surf and turf.[/quote]

The graduation tickets belong to the graduate.  Which is not you.  Are.you a thief OP? Are you going to steal them?

No not a thief, but you're an abusive parent.  That's your style.  Abuse harass and humiliate your son, and guilt him, to get your way.

Your undisguised contempt for your own son matches the contempt you have for his father, and likely, for all men.

You are a terrible mother.  A very good match for the terrible man you say you procreated with.   Two equally bad parents.[/quote]

+10000. [/quote]
