Lately, I've just been angry at my father, because he knew I was about to graduate from college, but never called me and asked me about any of it, never told me he wanted to go or do anything, I didn't even get a congratulations, I just got bitched at by my stepmother about it.

a) I didn't go to the ceremony because half of my family doesn't speak to each other, and I don't get along with my stepfather, and I would have had to invite him if I was going to invite my mother. It was my ceremony, my choice anyway.

b) I didn't call him to tell him I wasn't going, because he withdrew his support about me getting a master's degree and bitched at me about getting a job when my stepfather had already treated me like shit for wanting to get a master's degree and accused me of being a professional student and told me I wasn't doing enough (he was drunk and felt like a failure and was taking it out on me).
