He graduated high school, it was a nice day, me and my daughter did not sit with my ex, I didn't even see him until the end. When I saw him sitting in the stands as I was leaving, I just kept walking. The next time I saw him he was rushing out of the parking lot to get to his car. I told my son there is your Dad so he could go to him. He did have to run after him to catch up, and he did. I saw my ex hug him then just again rush off. My son did not want anything just to go with his friends, I was fine with that. But I know my ex went to his nieces graduation party and I was feeling bad that he had something to do, and I sat with nothing. I know that might not make sense but I felt lonely. I hate this because I don't want him in my life he is everything that is negative and nasty, but I just felt so sad. And of cause with the sadness I just could not understand why he would not give his son time. If I had not said anything to my son about seeing his father he would not have even have seen him today. These contradicting feeling suck. Thanks for letting me vent
Congratulations on the Graduation!!!!
Congratulations to your son. I know you are proud of him.
Take care

I'm sorry you ended up feeling alone, but I'm happy to hear you have all those other things to feel too, despite you and your ex having your relationship end, your son is succeeding

No my ex got him nothing, like I said he would not even have said hello to him today if I did not point him out to my son. I almost didn't ,but I thought of my son and knew it was the right thing to do. I am glad my son had a nice day that is the most important thing. And it is true I think it is a let down to something that was very important. I felt ok that's done now what. I was by myself and I knew he was celebrating, and it was not with for my son. I just kept thinking why am I alone why is he having fun.
But again I do have to add that I was glad my son had a great time today and tonight with his friends because I know in my heart that is what is important, it was his day. I just wanted today to be over with though, and get onto tomorrow. I hate the let down days

I understand the mixed emotions -- just feel them and know that it's part of that process of moving forward. My ex did not travel to daughter's graduation last month. He sent a card - money and flowers. My daughter I believe just wanted to know she was important enough for him to come -- he moved away when papers were filed. Ah- I wished and wish she'd be able to get what she wished but it is what it is.
Enjoy the accomplishment and take pride in knowing you've supported your son in getting there!
so i know the feeling of your pride
as for ur ex give him atleast some credit
cause could of been worse like him not comming at all.
my daughters father died when she was in 8th grade
