family issue
Hi there,
I have a great aunt and uncle on my father's side who have been really helpful throughout my life (helped pay for my college tuition, grad school tuition, have been there during difficult times, etc). My in-laws are divorced. All of our parents live in the same state and we live out of state. We gave everyone a holiday and my aunt and uncle got Easter (probably my mistake right there). So this Easter they invited my only sibling over but did not invite my parents. I am not sure why they did this....my mom is sick and disabled and they do not really like her so that could be part of it. So it's my husband, me, my brother, and his girlfriend going to my aunt and uncle for Easter and my parents will be by themselves. This is not right to me and I'm livid on how my aunt and uncle (old school Italians that want everything at their beck and call) will not invite my parents. My aunt and uncle are also my dad's aunt and uncle and my uncle was the best man in my parent's wedding 36 years ago. I feel caught between a rock and a hard place because if they had not been there during tough times and helped me financially I would be like screw you. I think I am going to tell my aunt and uncle that I am uncomfortable with my parents (my mom is also disabled and sick) being by themselves on Easter with both of their kids going to an aunt and uncles and that we will be spending time with my parents also that day now.
Thoughts?? So many thanks!
Re: family issue
I am sure that there are millions of us out there who attend more than one family function on the holidays. I see no problem with going to your uncle's for a while and then slipping out to spend the rest of the day with your parents.

doglove, my brother usually up until this point, spent every holiday with my parents.
My mom is disabled, sick and has cancer. My dad is her full time caretaker. The situation has progressed a lot since we split up the holidays. So circumstances
