But my step mother doesnt care if i am my father biological daughter.She is saying dad should skip my grad and go to jesse's.It has gotten to the point she said my graduation doesnt matter.I love my brother to death but i dont know what to do.I want my dad at my graduation.He has missed out on alot of the big things in my life.To the point my high school graduation,college graduation ,marraige, and giving birth are the only things left on the list of big things.I dont know what to do.Does anyone have advice?

" Let them know how important it is to you, if you don't think you can or will get the chance to talk, write it out and give it to them...all 3 of them.

Congratulations and blessings to you "

" Hi I agree if you dont think you can sit down and talk to your dad about how important it is to have him there, write him a nice inviting him to the event. Make it formal and put your step mother on so it looks like you are being adult about it even if you may not want her there. This way hopefully your dad will say hey I will go see Krissy and you go see ..... this way we cover all bases and take a video to share later. "
