“He’s not our real grandson”: Grandparents start college fund for golden child grandson, but not their adopted grandson, he uninvites them from his graduation in retaliation

Family can be rough. You can pick your friends, you can pick your partner, you can even pick your pet, but you just can't choose your family. They're ingrained into your life, and they're not going anywhere (probably). Just when you're having a great day, feeling good about your life, you get the dreaded call from your mother, and she's nagging you about you not getting enough sleep, and how you need to visit more often. Family has a genius way of poking and prodding us everywhere we don't want to be touched and triggered. They know all of our inner demons, they know how to make us upset, and they know how to cheer us up. They're like an alien that's been absolutely trained to be that kind of person to tear us down, and make us stand up. It's love hate relationship, and we all have someone in our families who pushes our buttons.

In the story below, the protagonist is a teenager who overhears something he never wanted to know. He was adopted by his father when he was 5-years-old and has never met his bio dad. His grandparents start a college fund for his brother, but not for him because he's not their "real" grandson. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.

We all have a different relationship with our grandparents, and some of us love them like they’re our real parents. I never really got close to my grandparents because they all lived very far away, but I know for some people that their grandparents played a critical role in their life.
