Dad Texted 'Skip The Reunion - Your Sister's Boyfriend Is A Senator' - Until They Sat At My Table

Dad Texted 'Skip The Reunion - Your Sister's Boyfriend Is A Senator' - Until They Sat At My Table The text came at 2:47 PM on a Friday, while I was reviewing the seating chart for the Children's Hospital Gala. Seven hundred guests. Forty corporate sponsors. Two governors, three senators, and the Lieutenant Governor—all confirmed.My phone buzzed: "Don't come to the family reunion tomorrow. Maria's boyfriend is State Senator Richard Brennan. We need to impress him. Your nonprofit work would just... complicate things. Hope you understand. - Dad"I stared at the message for a long moment. Twelve years of building one of the most successful children's advocacy organizations in the state, and my father still thought I worked at a "little charity."I wasn't angry. I was done. I typed back: "Okay."What my family didn't know—what they'd never bothered to ask—was that Senator Richard Brennan was the keynote speaker at my gala. That same night. At the same country club where they were holding their reunion.And he'd be sitting at my table. #aita #reddit #redditstories #redditstory #revengestory #revenge
