  AITA for telling my dad he doesn't get to play the hero in my story anymore?

• This is how one teenager felt when her father reprimanded her for not telling him about her high school graduation. He had been divorced from her mom since she was 11, and for years, she felt like he had neglected his parental duties by failing to show up for her or events that were important to her.

  As a result, she chose to only invite her mom to her special day, which upset her dad when photos were uploaded to social media. She stood firm in her decision, but some of her family were upset by her response, and she wanted to know if she had been too harsh.
