I would like to confront my mother about what she did to me as a child. It was horrific and terrible, and even though I ran away when I was 16, she now wants to come to my college graduation. I would love to tell her that because she hurt me so badly she has no right to be there.
However, my grandparents (her mom and dad) are ultra-Christian and think that God has miraculously fixed my mother. My mother is a con artist, and I have no doubt that she is still the depraved evil person she always has been. My grandparents are not in good health, and will be extremely upset when she tells them how I've been so "mean to her. Should I risk upsetting my grandparents (and aunts) to satisfy my own psychological needs? Or should I bite the bullet and make up an excuse for why my mother can't see me graduate?
