Mad About Christmas!!!!!
I found out my sister, her family, my father (my mom is deceased), and my aunt and uncle ( who don't speak to me, whole other issue) were going to spend Christmas in a rented cabin in the mountains for Christmas. Obviously DH And I weren't invited. I was extremely upset by this and out of the loop considering this had to be in the works for months without my knowledge. My issue is that why does no one in my family stick up for me and stand up to my aunt and uncle?!? The aunt is my moms sister. I just feel so alone and left out all the time....
Re: Mad About Christmas!!!!!
As someone that deals with family similar family issues I can tell you that no matter what you say or do they will not stick up for you or see it your way. You have to learn to live with the fact that it does not matter what you say or feel, their perception of you or the situation will not change even if you sit down and explain it to them step by step.
What you really need to do is focus on what you do have, your DH and if you have kids or have friends or other family members that you do get along with. The more you try to justify yourself, the more you convict your self because it makes you look guilty.
Good luck because I personally know how it feels. :-)
The reason your Aunt and Uncle don't talk to you I'm guessing is a huge factor on why you aren't invited. You have to stand up for yourself to your dad & sister and let them know that you missed spending the holiday with them and don't want this to become a regular thing. Then the next time they are invited to go somewhere over a holiday with your Aunt and Uncle they will know how it makes you feel and hopefully decline the invite.
