[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your brother is giving your mom a gift. I'm not sure how you came to the understanding that you were part of that? Just like if someone treated someone to dinner I would not expect that to be a group thing? And I don't think it is personal, necessarily. And when they were vague, another clue. Is this intrinsic to your family or do you often have trouble reading social situations and cues? It always sucks to not be included, I get that. But how did this go on for months? I was a family scapegoat so I am not dismissing your feelings but this was not about you and now you feel hurt and embarrassed. Have you ever travelled one on one with your mom? The 3 of you? When was the last time you saw her? Do you see your brother one on one? Last time?

I would not go, I don't think it will go well or resolve your feelings. Plan another trip with your mom or send a card. Plan something nice with your own family or friends who DO include you. I'm sorry. [/quote]

It's her mom's birthday trip. It would be like if they'd all 3 been talking about getting together for dinner soon, then suddenly because it's mom's birthday, OP isn't invited but told she can stop by for coffee for a few minutes, if she wants, and doesn't get the equivalent dinner alone with mom. It's really weird and pretty mean. [/quote]
