It's official: We're old. Cara and Mady Gosselin graduated from high school (hence our feeling old), and while all eyes are on these college-bound adults, people can't help but notice dad Jon Gosselin is missing and have more than a few things to say about it.

These 18-year-olds are done with high school and will be ready to take on college come fall.

Seriously, where the freak did the time go? We remember Mady and Cara turning 18 in October -- and that was a hard reality to deal with. And now college??

These Gosselin kids are growing up so fast!

... as one should (LOL).

Even Kate Gosselin is getting props for helping get her girls over the finish line as a single mom.

Others, however, aren't happy to see Jon missing from the picture and can't help but blame Kate for his absence.-placeholder

Jon, who's on a road trip with son Collin, has a strained relationship with six of his eight kids with Kate -- including twins Cara and Madelyn.

"I've been fighting for 10 years. I'll keep fighting for as long as I have to or will, whatever they want to do. I've said that since the beginning," Jon once told Entertainment Tonight about being estranged from his children, Cara and Mady, 18, and Aaden, Alexis, Joel, and Leah, 15.

The single dad has sole custody of his son Collin in addition to custody of Hannah Gosselin, who wanted to live with him instead of Kate. Jon Gosselin has a tell-all book reportedly in the works, so maybe we'll get some insight from his perspective about what went down.

Kate Gosselin has been accused of pitting her kids against their father.

Though a number of former Jon & Kate Plus 8 fans believe Kate "brainwashed" her children against Jon, Cara and Mady have said that's not the case. "He makes it seem like we're being kept from him, which is insane," Mady once told People about her nonexistent relationship with Jon Gosselin.

"He should maybe spend some time thinking about why we don't want to see him, and maybe realize that if he ever does want a relationship with us, talking about us on TV is not the way to make that happen. He doesn't even know us. How can he dare to talk about us?"

Here's hoping this family can mend fences.

... and that time heals all wounds.

(We can't imagine not speaking to a parent.)
