Is my dad being selfish or am i just unreasonable? >am 18

Can't tell about the situation leading up to it because you've condensed the story so much, but if your brother is texting vague threats it makes sense your dad wouldn't go.

Nah he doesn't wanna bring more drama especially with your bro sending threats. It would be a shit show if both of them went. Parents are people to, they have to make choices, and a lot of the times there's no right choice, just a choice.

Here is what my brother sent my dad

>>17186964
mate I'm sorry to tell you this but your brother is a fucking nutjob, it's a good thing that your dad kicked him out and it probably wasn't for a stupid reason.

>>17186964
Your bros nuts lol I would tell him not to go and have your dad go to the graduation instead. If it's an open ceremony and your bro shows up anyway he's disrespecting your wishes.

I know he got pushed over the edge and hes never been right.
It really was a stupid reason. My brother was parking his car at the edge of the house and my dad didnt like it cause our retarded HOA writes us up for it. My brother didn't know parking it at the far side of the house would do the same. So my dad flipped shi, thinking my brother was doing it on purpose. And the cops were called because my brother knows my dad gets violent.

Honestly I dont want my dad to go. Hes fucked up my brothers life. I just want to know if its justified to call my dad pathetic and selfish for not going to my graduation.

What would calling your dad names do? Would it make you feel better? Would it change him as a person? What would you gain by this? What negative consequences could this have?

>>17187049
I meant would it be okay to feel that way about him. Im not saying that to his face or anyone elses.

>>17187090
Well you'll feel the way you feel, you know the most about the situation. You can't look for approval from randoms for things like this.

>>17187097
It would make me feel better though. I cant really talk to anyone about this. No one wants to hear about other's shitty lives.

It totally depends on your worldview how you see other people. I'm kind of hippy but I like to practice mindfulness and see where people are coming from rather than label them in anyway. I find it more valuable to worry about how I see myself.

Nah your dad's smart for kicking a toxic man out and graduating isn't a big deal anyone does it so why is yours so special, I didn't go for any of my kids cause they knew it would be a waste of time in my busy day

>>17187166
My brother and dad were equally terrible. My dad a little more so.
Its terrible to say you dont care about your kids graduation. You're supposed to love them and show them you're proud of them. Not kick them to the curb.

K.
Most people dont give a shit about other people and dont want to hear about depressing things.
