Lil...I get it.
As for graduation, I can understand parents being proud of watching an achiever graduate. I had a C/D average and my parents weren't proud and I was ashamed. They wanted me to go because how would they explain it if I didnt? Not all parents are proud of those little things. And not all kids, and I was a d c, are going to do things just to please their parents or to make their parents more comfortable.
On the plus side my parents got ro see my brother be valevectorian in high school, graduate with honors from college and high honors for his Masters. And my sister got a bachelors.
I was the one who deprived them of pleasure.
Of course, they were not loving and endlessly caring parents like you and Jab are either. If I'd had parents like you two, I probably would have gone to make you two happy. I wish id had parents like
you are. I was not coldhearted. If my parents had been nice to me, I would have happily reciprocated.
