Graduation tightness - my mum 1
The day of my first exam in my final year my mum and dad split up with no warning.

We'd found out my mum hadn't been paying any bills, my dad had a couple of days to leave the house that was being repossessed, etc.

Fast foward a few weeks and it was graduation day and being the first person from my family to go to uni my nan (mum's mum)was a mandatory invite which meant inviting both my mum and my dad.

They didn't talk to each other obviously, I was glad they were there and stumped up the £40 per person charge as my mum said she'd pay me back later.

After the graduation all my friends around me are getting gifts from their familys and going for posh meals.

We go to Weatherspoons as they were doing 2 for 1 meals.

Mid meal, my mum stands up and says how proud of me she is and how proud my grandad would have been had he been around still and pulls an envelope out of her bag and passes it to me. Then hugs me and tells me it's one of the happiest days of her life to see me graduate.

I open the envelope... it's a piece of paper with 'Well done' written on it and some clip art people stuck around the edge she knocked up in 10 minutes in word.

I never saw the £40pp ticket money, never got the £4k back and I paid for the meal in Weatherspoons as no one else had any cash.

So on one of the happiest days of her life, she didn't pay for tickets, food or even spend more than a token effort to celebrate. Tight cow.

The irony of all this is that all the time I was at uni she moaned like hell cos I wasn't doing a proper job (I worked part time) and I was only paying £200 a month rent from the £250 I earnt a month. And that she had stolen over £5,000 from me when she scarpered... and opened a catalogue account in my name and ran up £800 bill she didn't pay.

I hope you have disowned this wretch of a woman!

Wow
I've heard a lot of weird shit, but nothing unsettles me more than this.

What a bitter twisted woman.

My mistake
I mistakenly read part of that as...

"... I never got the £4k back I paid for the meal in weatherspoons..."

£4000 for a meal in weatherspoons worried me that my trip to the pub tonight was going to cost me dearly.

Then I noticed the word "and"

Anyway, I hope your doing better after this experience.
