AITA for having to leave my brother’s graduation because of my grandma

My brother had his graduation this year, and I am so happy for him.

I told him many times that I am proud of him.

But during the ceremony, my grandma got so sick.

She hadn’t been feeling well that day, and I think the heat was too much.

This woman left the graduation ceremony with her grandmother who was feeling really sick.

There was no ventilation at all in that place.

And I left with her, so she could get to my family’s house (not hers).

She was so sick, I knew she wouldn’t make it there.

So I texted my mom and told Dad to tell them that I had to leave.

Her mom got upset and ordered her to come back.

My dad was fine with it (it’s his mom).

My mom is a teacher, so she wasn’t with us.

She was up near the stage.

When I got home, my mom texted, “Get yourself back up here.”

And all I responded with was saying no.

She bluntly responded to her mom.

She was annoyed like no other and she kept ranting:

“This is his only graduation. You can’t do this.”

And I said, “If this was your mom, you wouldn’t be acting like this.”

She’s heated after that.

She found a way to go back, but her mom wouldn’t drop the issue.

I told her, “Sorry, I want to be there, but I can’t.”

I found a way to get back up to the school.

But she has never stopped being annoyed about it.

So, am I the jerk?

Graduation may only happen once, but health should still come first.
