I love the way you worded that...you should have given him a senior prank...that would have been just as good

I guess he taught your mom a few things too

It sadly was him and your mother's fault that your parents slip, but I can't even imagine how painful and tough that must have been. At least your out of there and dont have the high chance of seeing him again! I hope you and your father can get through this together :)

Problem with hitting the principal is that you usually have your graduation ceremony prior to actually graduating. You still have tests to do normally. Not only that, but if you knew he was going to be there, why show up? It's not like it is a required event to attend and as it is sullied for you anyways, then it wouldn't matter if you missed it or not. And on another note, I agree with what half the community is saying. You may want to blame the principal because "mom can do no harm" but sorry OP, your mom is just as much at fault here. She choose to cheat on your dad. As for the divorce, she and your dad are to blame, not your principal.

y is it his fault ? ur mom was more than willing so u wanna punch ur mom in the face ?

I mean, may as well deck your mum in the face and have a big ol' donnybrook while you're at it.

it's also your moms fault tbh

In all fairness, it's not just his fault. It's your mother's, too. Seeing as how she didn't just accidentally wind up on his dick..

I definitely would not have smiled or shook his hand, I would have just grabbed the diploma.

Grats on showing self-restraint. You're already more mature than your mother and your principal.
