[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 595570, member: 1550"] Well, you're a part of our sad club. Most of us gave our all to our kids and not all of them appreciated it. I'm sorry you are feeling gloomy about difficult child, but I know the feeling. I think most people would not be feeling great if we felt we were invited strictly for the gift. And if she wasn't a good student, there isn't all that much to be proud of, unless she tried her hardest. So I see where you are coming from. As for your parents, I have no idea why you have to sit next to them or put on an act or why the adult thing to do is to sit next to people who abuse you just because they gave you birth. It is not immature to take care of yourself and your own feelings. You matter, just like the rest of them. Hoping you get through the ceremony and have a good time :) In other words, hoping you are treated like you deserve to be :) You are NOT a failure. Ask yourself this: Who is making you feel like one? difficult child? Parents? Is their opinion valid? You know you are not a failure, or you should know that and nobody should be able to talk you out of it. [/QUOTE]
