[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just cried about this last night. I called my mom as I always do and she spoke of a wedding that she is paying for all three other siblings to attend. She didn't mention once to fly me out (not that I expect it or would take it) or even say can you attend? Then she even told me she wants to fly out the nieces and beep heed and their significant others too.

It hurts and maybe I need therapy or a Valium because I don't know how to deal with it anymore. [/quote]

I'm sorry op. Sending some hugs. Therapy helped me, but my mom was not nearly so exclusionary as yours :( The situation you describes really hurts, and I am dealing with family members (not mom) who sadly exclude my DH and I. Therapy has helped and I am just starting to be able to move past it. It really hurts to feel all the sadness and anger I have inside, but seems to be helping in the long run.

And, don't listen to people who tell you "you are too sensitive." You feel what you feel, it may not make any difference to them, it does make a difference to you.

For my part, I try to stay away and interact as little as possible while being friendly when I do. I've tried for years to "fit in" when I could, but that didn't work either. DH and I are also infertile, and have decided to concentrate on what we enjoy in life, strengthen our relationship and our friendships and make new friends, and just move forward. It is hard, and I am taking baby steps. [/quote]
