The article discusses a daughter’s dilemma regarding her parents, who have been divorced for 30 years, and their volatile relationship. As her son prepares for high school graduation, both grandparents want to attend, but her father refuses to be near her mother. The daughter perceives her father's demands as unreasonable, emphasizing that this occasion should focus on her son's achievement rather than their longstanding feud. She contemplates omitting her father from the celebration if he cannot celebrate civilly and maturely, affording her son the happiness he deserves.
These special occasions are NOT all about him and his grudge against your mother, presumably for having the audacity to leave him.
Tell your father that if he can't bury the hatchet on this special occasion and celebrate your son's achievement, you will understand and omit him from the guest list.
It is silly. They are 75 years old and should be able to sit down the row from each other without throwing a tantrum.
Your father refuses to recognize that these special occasions require maturity and civility, especially when it involves his grandson's milestone.
