Of my dad's girlfriend. My graduation party is in like a week, and she just called it off because I supposibly didn't help clean up her and her mother's house. When they only asked me to do one thing, which I did. Oh and I work all the time so when would they like me to do it. So I moved out.
I screwed her beccause I used to babysit for her at night when she did a newspaper route, ruined my own life to help her and moved out of my dad's house into her house for over a year to help her out, and what does she do, SCREWS ME OVER!
I've been looking forward to my Open House forever, and she ruined it. I dont want anything to do with her, her mother, and her son ever agian.
Do I sound to harsh, or how would you feel?
I guess my party is at my Aunts house, but how embarrassed do I feel having to call everyone who RSVP to my party out here and now it's moved to an hour away. How rude, and low is she? How embarrassed and dumb does it make me and my dad look... I'm so frusterated right now...
How would you guys feel though, do you think I'm over reacting about this and moving back into my dad's house, or do you think I'm right and did the right thing?

i think i would need more information and to actually know the situation. i know teens tend to be over-reactive and rash in decision making...yet i also know that graduation is an extremely important milestone, one my own son just experienced. i hope you were responsible enough to give her a notice when stopping watching her child as it wasn't any of the childs doing so the child shouldn't be involved in any way. it was a job and you shouldn't just quit out of anger and give no notice, that is irresponsible and you are an adult in training who is supposed to be developing good habits for your own lifes future. i see nothing wrong with you moving back in with your dad and deciding what to do with your future from there. as for the embarrassment of moving the party, is it really that big of a deal? i know i didn't care whose house a party was at as long as my friends were there and we were having fun.
i think she was wrong to cancel your party yet it's her house and she has that right. you can't control what she does but you can control your own reaction to what she does.
how did moving in with her to begin with ruin your life?? i think that just sounds like a drama moment and not actuality. you are young and nothing is ruined in your life except maybe your current mood, which will pass
enjoy your graduation, enjoy your party at your aunts house, reconnect with your dad while you live with him now, and figure out your future, don't let her actions fester and make you sour.

Thanks for your response.
Most my family lives up north, and my graduation party is now moved down river which would be ... three hours away if not more for them. My family is also kind of sterotypical, so that just made me and my dad look bad because of his girlfriend who was mad and decided to cancel it.
She knew I was quiting after my party, so I'm pretty sure this is why she canceled my party. I dont care anymore though, I'm over it.
For her and her mom it's more of a control thing, and they wanted to know that they wear the "pants" in my dad and her's relationship. If they arent in control they arent happy. It's all about CONTROL to them, and that's exactly what happened.
