They justify it by saying they got me a limo for prom. But they surprised me with that, I didn’t ask them for it. It would have been ok without one. Not to mention my brother decided to do prom last minute so I know they would if they could. I asked for a grad party with my small group and it was a no. We aren’t poor, my friends families couldn’t afford a small one. They made me go to most of his senior soccer games but he wasn’t at my robotics tournament or graduation. They say I wasn’t…
…at his college graduation but I had exams at my college, he missed mine for a trip that they knew was going to be during my graduation but they didn’t tell me until he was a week from leaving. My dad told me, his only daughter, that it will be better once I can move out for good. I try to be a good daughter
This all just make my accomplishments feel less than. Whenever I mention it they try to brush it off but I felt like my graduation wasn’t really celebrated. Me getting my robotics team to states wasn’t really celebrated. I work really hard bc school just doesn’t come naturally to me. I graduated HS with nearly 80 credits, aquaculture certification, and serve safe certification. I’m in college for pre vet. We didn’t celebrate me getting in, but the whole family toured the places he got into.
I even tried to celebrate it by making a cake in the color of the school but they didn’t really celebrate at all. Just criticized not getting into my first choice. I didn’t have a sweet 16 bc Covid, no big 18th bday, no grad party, and no 21. For all of these my brother had a party with a big group of friends. I got to go to Disney around graduation which doubles as my 18th but it was just me and my dad, and my brother did that around his 16th as well as a huge party
I just always wanted those big deal parties that people around me always seemed to get. Most of my major birthdays that you do that at have passed. It hurts, I just always wanted one so bad and he got stuff like that but I didn’t. I don’t think they’ll all be here for college graduation this year and I doubt they’ll even care if I get into vet school. I’m sorry I needed to rant bc they just shut me down when I try to
And look I get I’ve gotten to do/have nice things, but they still treat him a thousand times better. They know that I really wanted a party for these events. Best I got was 3 people at a restaurant and then an arcade where my dad got too drunk to drive after (had a bar). Meanwhile he had sleepover, tons of food and cake, tons of decor, and then escape rooms or ghost walks and such. I told them that I really just wanted one of those parties. I just always wanted that “movie” moment with a m party
