Independent Woman Refuses to Invite Her Parents to Her Graduation, Citing Their Neglect as the Reason: ‘They were never there for me’

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Family is one of the most important things in life; the support, emotional connection, and love you get from them can't be replaced elsewhere. Without a supportive and loving family, it can have indelible effects on a person. Neglect is the silent killer; feeling like you're invisible or unseen is a horrible feeling. 

In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) feels just like that. She has a family who has never really been there for her. As the only daughter in the family she's had to tackle everything on her own without external help. She moved out as soon as she turned 18, and hasn't looked back since. Now that she's graduating with her first degree, she doesn't feel the need to include them in the ceremony. It's her big moment, and she's even giving a speech due to her outstanding academic performance. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.
