He just told me that he probably won't make able to make it to my graduation because of his back problems and the airplane. I understand that but I'm surprised because he has always been so "proud" and "supportive" of me, how could he not go to my graduation? He's my dad, I want him there, but I can't make him feel bad about it.. Should I be hurt? Or like.. should this not be a big deal at all?

Replies RIMHfire Posted at 1:34 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 I would feel disappointed too. RoseBeautyMagical416 Posted at 1:29 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 He is probably disappointed that he can't be there for you. I mean has back problems, I don't think he purposely did that to not be there for you, especially if he has always been supportitve in the past. It is okay to feel a little hurt and disappointed, but he also feels that way cause he can't be there for you and he knows it means a lot to you superfreak Posted at 1:26 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 he i phycically unable no reason you shouldnt be dissappointed Written in Love Posted at 1:25 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Don't make him feel bad. be disapointed, but don't let him know that you're dispointed. i'm sure he would come if he could. soldier side Posted at 1:25 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 he hates you i guess. l0ckert3ch Posted at 1:25 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 He's making excuses.. he should find a way to get there. hersheyparker Posted at 1:24 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 You can be disappointed but think about it this way, so is he. marine chic Posted at 1:24 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 I don' think it should be a huge deal, seeing as he's physically incapable of attending.   All 8 previous replies displayed.
