How should I invite my ex to see our son walk at his graduation.?
My ex has been in prison for the past 6 years and is now out. Our nineteen year old finished school last month and has the opportunity to walk in May this year. We talk and hang out with my ex , his dad, but none of my family members My Mom, and so forth have seen him and I want to keep it that way. Don’t want him to start talking to them and so forth so what should I do? Invite him but tell him to watch elsewhere? Please help because I would love to see my son walk.

Say… "hey, your son is graduating from highschool and would probably appriciate seeing his dad there… "
I think this is your son’s decision and all family members should respect what he wants. If Dad might make a commotion that would disturb the ceremony for other families, try to talk your son into going for a graduation breakfast with his father instead so they can still celebrate together.
It is not right to keep family away from family.
Everyone makes mistakes.
I think that the civil thing would be to invite him, and have something else lined up right after, like dinner reservations just for a select few. You don’t have to sit right next to him, but I think that you will show a lot of class by allowing your child the memory of everyone there for the walk. Just call your ex and tell when and where, and what time the walk is, and leave it to him to provide his own transportation.
you must invite him. it doesnt matter if he talks 2 them. its his son to, and it means everything to a parrent to see their sun walk even if they dont know them. you must, or else it will hurt your ex. no matter how much u hate ur x, u must do this even if he has been in jail. if you dont invite his pain will hurt him so bad, he might ruin his life. and ur sun he will be hurt just as much.
Since your son is over 18, I feel that this is his decision to make. If he decides he would like his father to attend, then your son should do the inviting. Your ex is responsible for his own behavior, it is no reflection on you or your son (if his behavior is an issue) You don’t have to attend the function together, and he can make his own arrangements to attend.
Does your ex have legal visitation rights? If so, then… yeah, he should see your son walk at the graduation. It’s a significant event.
If not, then… tell your ex to take a hike.
