I know how you feel. It’s hard

Sometimes we have to suck it up and deal with exes at events. Is it comfortable? Usually not at all.

I’d say that you have to attend an event but you don’t have to sit with mom at all. Even if you have no issues with mom, sitting together isn’t required. Neither is attending parties. Could you talk to your daughter that you want to attend graduation but would rather sit somewhere else? And does she really expect you to attend. a party or you just think she does?

I feel for you. My daughter always expected that I and her dad would suck it up and always be ok at all events and circumstances. On the most part we did so to speak. We mostly get along. Was it always comfortable? No. Sucked it up.

But it’s like never ends when you have kids. We have a grandkid now. Lol it’s not frequent but it’s still bound to happen: to be at events. Sending you hugs
