Good job on being a good man and honoring your FIL. I know it couldn't have been easy.
Your son and daughter are old enough to make their own decisions on how they want to remember people. It is really none of your SIL's business what they do or don't do.
Sounds like you are doing just fine raising your kids even without their mother's help.
It's very typical for a person who abandoned their kids to want to show up at graduation. Sadly there are consequences for an affair and throwing away a family.
I would relax and enjoy the graduation and not worry about her showing up. The focus should be on your son and daughter.

MrS:
Heres the plan:
Have the Kids send an invite to thier Aunt, but make sure the date is for the day after.
That should be fun.
OOPS, did we put the WRONG date on that?
Actually....
If your SIL was SO CONCERNED about the kids being there, WHY didn't SHE ask them or invite them to come?
Please. Ignore HER. She is TOXIC. All the way around.
Glad you went to the wake. That was GOOD for YOU. And something that YOU will remember as the right thing to do.

Most of the relatives spoke with me,and had some good conversation,but the oldest sister who happens to be the only one I don't talk to said my kids should have been their,and that they will regret not going the rest of their life. Those kids have nothing to regret. Their MOTHER will more likely come to regret abandoning her children for the rest of her life, if her conscience ever awakens.
