I get that feeling I think. A year ago I was inducted into Psi Chi and we were to invite our family. Well since I am an older student, it would have been my husband and kids. Well on the same day our local baseball championship game was to be played. I knew how much my DH and kids wanted to go to this, so I said it was okay for them not to come. It really didn't feel like such a big deal until when I got there and realized I was the only one without anyone. That triggered back to in high school on senior night, I was the only one without any parents. They were alive, but didn't care.
It feels so hurtful and feels like for me abandonment. I would come and see you if I could!
Congrats by the way! :-)

Exotic,
I am sorry you had to go alone
I imagine it was very painful. I had shared with my T about a time when I had received a reward in elementary school. I remember walking to school myself that night. As I was standing in room, I looked around and saw all of my classmates with their family, and I was there alone. That was the first time I realized that my mom never did those things with me. It was a really sad moment. I was in 4th grade at the time.
I don't recall her ever going to parent teachers meeting's ect. She had her own issues. As a child I didn't know that, as an adult I now recognize that but it doesn't make it much easier just yet.
Congrats on your induction
