Some children don’t get along with their step parents.

If you had a step parent you didn’t like, would you still invite them to important events like your high school graduation?

This young lady doesn’t want her stepmother at her high school graduation, but she’s wondering if she should invite her anyway.

Read the story below for all the details.

AITA for not inviting my stepmom to my graduation?

I (18F) am graduating high school this May.

I’ve known my stepmom (47F) since I was 3, but never got close to her.

We’ve been to several events together, and these encounters make me not want her to celebrate this achievement with me.

This young lady didn’t invite her stepmom to her graduation.

Recently, I found out how many graduation tickets I’m getting, and I didn’t invite my stepmom.

My dad (47M) found out about this arrangement.

He got mad about it.

He practically yelled at me, saying she is the mother that raised me, and she deserves a place at my graduation just as much as he does.

Now, her dad won’t go unless she goes.

He told me if she doesn’t get a ticket, he can’t go.

I’m torn because I want my dad there with me, but I don’t want her there to celebrate with me.

So, AITA?

Her dad is making the decision for her. It’s up to him if he goes. If he doesn’t go, he’s choosing the stepmom over his daughter.
