Yes, that is a bold snub.  The fact you all normally get together on a regular basis plus take annual vacations together makes it super awkward.  They really should have notified you.

I agree.  I think it's a clear message that they do not view you as close friends anymore.  Who knows what happened -- but now you know and can move forward with that knowledge.[/quote]

OP here. Yes, that's it, and it feels pretty awful.  I have known for a while that the other two families are closer with each other and get together more often with each other and without us.  I guess this episode just brings it home all the more starkly. [/quote]

OP this is very painful and it sucks. I am sorry. I think you need to adjust to the new reality (after the birthday party), then feel out the situation. Sometimes when things have become a "tradition" other people feel differently but they never say anything. They just let it build up until they do something very hurtful like this. You say the kids are teens? I notice that the parents get ever less tolerant of others as the teen years go past and they know that the family will be splitting up for college. So they grab the family time together without regard for other peoples feelings. Teens can be very mean without really understanding that it is rude and how much it hurts-- they just think, well I don't feel as close to "Jason" anymore, and that is fine to them. The relationship IS changed now, and I think going forward you would be better off thinking that than that it is a "misunderstanding"[/quote]
