That wasn’t her vision; it was always her dad’s and something that he claimed was very important to him.
Although she wasn’t thrilled to go to her graduation ceremony in the first place, she wanted to do this for her dad and his happiness.
As graduation approached, she got her dad a ticket and made sure he was seated nowhere near her mom.
She then texted him to see what email she should use in order to get his ticket to him, and he then replied that he won’t be able to make it to her graduation.
She is aware that her dad’s girlfriend is mainly why he couldn’t come, and her dad was at his girlfriend’s place when he texted her.
“I have tried to make amends and please him in so many ways,” she continued. “It feels like whatever I do isn’t good enough and he shuts me out because his girlfriend doesn’t like me and thinks I’m poison to their relationship.”
“I have tried making small talk with her, and she doesn’t seem to respond, but my dad always ends up blaming me because I “make her cry” and stuff like that.”
She believes her dad throws his money around in order to convince her to keep having a relationship with him, but she doesn’t want to do that anymore.
Even though he did generously gift her $3,500 for her college graduation, she thinks it’s time to stop speaking to him for a bit.
She’s wondering if it’s wrong of her to take some time for herself and take a step back from their relationship, especially since her dad has done so much for her money-wise.
She doesn’t want her dad’s money though. She just wants her dad.
