[quote=Anonymous]You're allowed to feel hurt, but there's not really anything you can do besides eventually respect the decision. I'll say that when deciding a guardian for my niece, my brother and SIL outright asked me, and discussed some things. I felt honored and valued for the many hours I put in helping out and spending time with my niece in that difficult first year. However, I came to learn eventually that they did not choose me. What hurt was less the decision, and more the fact that they could not/did not tell me (after asking/discussing things). My guess that a big part of the decision was not my caretaking abilities or closeness, but the fact that I'm unmarried. I understand that decision, but the backhanded way of finding out was the most hurtful for me. It's their decision. You have to respect the decision of others. But I can commiserate with the hurt feelings.[/quote]
