[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Dad divorced when I was three;  remarried when I was about 6.  I was always treated differently.  For lack of a better example, think "Cinderella".

Anyway, the issue is now that me and my grown children, and my husband, are left looking for places to celebrate holidays.

I made dad choose many decades ago, and my stepmom has issues of her own.  But they do not need to treat me like I don't belong in the family.

I like the suggestions so far.  I may decide to meet them for coffee and talk to them about how I feel.  Of course, I don't like the idea of apologizing, being stubborn, as I am.

So you want to ask them to come for coffee so you can confront them [i]again[/i] about how you feel wronged, and try to force an apology out of them? Please don't bother, you will be disappointed. You can't force someone to validate your feelings or apologize, so if you don't have anything to offer them along those lines, just leave it alone.

Also, why are you looking for places to celebrate holidays? How about celebrating them yourself instead of looking for someone else to make it happen for you?[/quote]
