[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry, OP.  I totally understand how this drives a wedge between you and your DH.  He's shown by his actions that you two are not a package deal.  I cannot imagine how you and your girls could be excluded from this event.  It's just not done.  Your MIL/FIL should have been advocating for you.  I, too, would feel less love for my husband.  He's demonstrating it's acceptable for his family to treat you this way.

I hope you go to individual counseling to help you figure out your path forward.  Hugs.[/quote]

Agree. This is really bizarre. You don't exclude family from events like these. And it's bizarre that they don't consider you, or at least your kids, to be family. Plus it's not like there's some rule that only observant Jews -- or any Jews -- are permitted at a bar mitzvah.

Your inlaws sound incredibly petty and selfish. If it were me, I'd go and let them tell me to my face that I'm not invited but my husband and kids are. Screw them. Let them tell me that to my face in front of all their family and friends.

There is clearly something wrong with your BIL. But really this is a problem for your husband and your relationship. You need counseling together. Because if he's not going to stick up for you and your kids, it's time to get out of this relationship.[/quote]
