[FULL STORY] My Parents Never Supported My Education but My Uncle Stepped in and Supported Me. Now.. 

Your parents did absolutely nothing to help you. Invite your uncle.

it is actually a very clear cut situation. your parents wanted you to drop out of high school, not get a college education. .. your uncle was simply supporting you and your dreams .. honoring your uncle by inviting him to your graduation was only just

Give all glory to your uncle. Do not even mention the parents.

Story 1: “They said I’m choosing my uncle over my own family”. Firstly, that’s damn right because OP’s uncle IS family. And secondly, he’s a far better parent than his egg and sperm donor so has every right to attend.

Serves them right, don't take credit for putting your own son to school when his own uncle did, the OP's parents should be ashamed of themselves for such ignorance and got called out for their lies, good to go for the OP's uncle stepping up to help him and never look back.

The uncle is a way better parent than ops actually parents.

NTA!!! Your uncle soley helped you, your parents didn't do anything to help or anything. Invite your uncle. They are your true supporters. Your family is just holding back your true potential.

How do you elope from a graduation ceremony? Go with your uncle.

MAN this guy spends, like, 5 minutes waffling so hard his 23 and me just said "Syrup".

I have been summoned When he became 16 his parents wanted him to quit high school and work with them but he didn’t want to, his uncle herd about it and helped him finish high school, he also funded his college but his parents would brag to others that they were the ones putting him through college, when he was graduating he could only invite 2 people so he invited his uncle and aunt, when parent found out they were furious and they got in a heated argument about it, saying they they deserved to be there and they they will be embarrassed if they aren’t there, so the graduation comes and he invited his uncle and aunt, his parents were livid and stared spreading roomers that his uncle was manipulating him, he finds out about this and invites his extended family, uncle and parents and reveals the truth his parts storm out and threaten to cut him off.

All things considered I am curious how the relationship with the parents really get any worse. Laterally perhaps but of no consequence. Taking the uncle and aunt is the only legitimate option.

Take your uncle

I was a coward. I folded in that very same situation. I beg, borrowed and stole to get tickets for family that meant nothing to me. I just wanted non-confrontations at my graduation.

WTF!!! Why are you allowing your parents to take credit for both high school and college? Your uncle and his wife (while I like to think an aunt by marriage would always support a niece or nephew by marriage without a blood connection, but that’s never been the case with me.). ❤❤ to both aunt and uncle. Thank you hugs to both! Huge thank you to the aunt for supporting her husband’s decision to take care of you through college. This is how a family should work, and your parents are an example for how families often don’t work.

I know that family is important, but how were the parents family when they did all that they could to get in OP's way of getting an education. At this point in life I only keep company with those that have been there for me. When it is time to party and celebrate any achievements I only want my support circle there with me.

its ALWAYS the ones that do the least and try to put you down that expect the most like they did everything, i would have posted pics of the graduation with the caption "thanks for putting me though college and believeing in me when my own parents couldnt" or something like that, they think they are great but they tried to ruin your furture but what op did was perfect since he answered questions people had with his speach

make the invitations out for your uncle and aunt that stood beside you to make your dreams come true, not your parents that did nothing for you. you also need to explian to the rest of your family what your folks tried to do when you were younger by dropping out of school to work for your dad.

There’s something super “pat” and neat about the stories on this channel. AI generated? Theres also a serious need for editing - points repeated 3-4 times just in different wording eg “I felt abandoned and alone. It seemed like everyone had left me. It was as though everyone I care about vanished. It was like I lost my whole world.”

looks like bro majored in yapping

For those who finished the short 0:57 for overlap 1:00 no overlap

You give honor we honor is due

I do think the parents are jerks because they lied about the situation instead of being grateful to the uncle for supporting their kid, but I do understand the financial situation. Although I myself wouldn’t do it, I wouldn’t fault parents for telling their son that he has to work since they’re struggling to pay bills. Plus the father had his own business so of course he’d make the son help out there. But making him quit high school would have been unacceptable. I get not having the money for college but high school drop out? Crazy asf.

The rest of your families opinion doesnt matter.your Uncle and his family deserve the invitation obviously. Your parents have been bragging about their assumed efforts even before Grad.Dont let them manipulate you.

Crazy how. The parents through are always so crazy

You did right

What a dramatic AI

The uncle is like a better parent

I don’t even understand why it’s a question. Invite uncle parents didn’t support but uncle did

Best uncle ever bro❤

na this really sounds fake

Grow a spine
