Wendy,

I can certainly relate to being forgetten and hurt by family.

Of course you have the right to be hurt. It hurts when family doesn't understand. It hurts to be forgotten.

My family does the same thing to me. My mother and step-father and everyone on that side of my family act as if I no longer exist - my husband and I never get invited to anything. My in-laws are similar, but they invite my husband without inviting me.

My father and step-mother are better, but they still have their moments of forgetting us and assuming that I would not want to do certain things. On that side of the family, we get invited to some things, but not others...


It's really sad and hurtful to feel left out and forgotten... but I don't know how to fix or change it.

(((((((hugs))))))

Take care,
Liz
