[quote=Anonymous]I'm a middle child in a large family. I often suddenly feel like I'm being left out when I hear about a get together I wasn't invited to or involved in the planning of. That said, I do realize that my reactions sometimes come from my childhood self, not the adult one. (I was left out a lot as a kid, not old enough for my older siblings, not going enough for my younger ones)   when this happens I try to take a deep breath and remind myself that I love them and they love me and the day to day has nothing to do with it. Look at the big picture… are they mean, difficult people who are trying to hurt you? Or are they just human and not great at seeing your point of view? My siblings are all hyperconfident and would be bewildered if I told them I feel less loved by them because I get together with them less often. They just take our clients for granted and don't tie it in to the number of get togethers they have. And when we do get together, it's always lovely. DH is helpful when it comes to this as well, he's able to see the big picture and helps me find an adult reaction when I feel left out![/quote]
