[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]

I hope you are not saying such things in front of your son. You will freeze him out. Tread carefully. [/quote]
