Graduation ceremony and secret narcissism

Our kids wanted to walk and wanted us there. We were happy to attend.

My parents were very much into higher education, but hated graduations. So…they made other plans for the day I graduated and didn’t attend. TBH I was hurt. I attended a smaller University and walked with my name called. My fellow graduating sorority sisters and I got together at the house and I was the only one with no parents present (they lived about an hour away). It was embarrassing for me. My best friend/roommate who was a year behind me stayed at school for a few extra days to be my “family” at graduation. I will forever be grateful to her for that.

Wow I would have been hurt too. I am so sorry.
