My daughter is graduating highschool next week and has invited her abusive father and grandmother. She knows that I am deathly afraid of him and need someone to go with me for support. She won't let me invite my family, because she doesn't want a fight (which would be started by her father). She won't let me take my boyfriend because she hates him and my son is too young to stand up to his father. The way things stand at this point is that I won't be able to go for fear of my life.
I don't have a restraining order against him because he hasn't physically threatened me in a long time and I won't let him anywhere near my home anyway.
Yes, he will try something in public, because he has done it before in family court on several occasions.
I am scared and already had an anxiety attack just thinking about it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

My daughter is also graduating this year. (congrats to us!!) Can you choose not to sit near them?? Tell your daughter that you would like a quick hug and pic with her afterwards then scat. Or- contact her school, tell them what the deal is and ask if you can have 10 minutes of the security guards time to make sure you get back to your vehicle ok. Trust me- the school is not up for the drama anymore than you are.
Good luck- Let us know what happens.

you are the adult and the parent in this situation. invite whomever will make you feel better and safe. if i dare say, i think your dd is being a spoiled unreasonable child. she needs a good dose of reality. i'm sorry if that seems harsh, but she doesn't rule the household. get her situated and have your guest meet in at your seats. you are her mother and have every right to watch her graduate.
just my 2 cents.
