My dad got me this orchid for my birthday and I feel really bad that I’ve let it get like this, at first I would just put it by my window to get some sunlight and water once a week. Is there still hope for this orchid?
As we know it’s graduation season. I’m getting my AA degree in a few days and my college just sent us the tickets for our ceremony. I was given 5 tickets (my dad, mom, brother and sister, and my aunt). My best friend has an extra ticket she won’t use so she’s giving it to me so my boyfriend can go to my graduation. My mom and dad divorced about 5 years ago and my mom remarried 6 months after their divorce get finalized so I don’t have the best relationship with her husband, I barely tolerate him and my relationship with my mom is decent but could be better. My mom keeps trying to make me feel bad about not getting a ticket for her husband and keeps telling me that he already requested the day off from work and that he deserves to be at my graduation more than my boyfriend. I already had this exact same problem during my high school graduation, I had to pay some girl like $20 to get an extra ticket for my mom’s husband after I got into an argument with her because I was able to get extra tickets for my grandparents and she had suggested that I should give her my grandparents’ tickets so her husband and his family could come (he doesn’t even talk to his other kids). Long story short, what should I say to her? I know the obvious answer is that I can’t please everyone and if she doesn’t want to come to my graduation because of something that’s out of my control then it’s her problem but I really want my mom at my graduation, I just want a day with the people that I actually like having in my life and a part of me wants to have one day of feeling like my parents never get divorced.
