Some of my partner’s siblings were going away for the weekend, some had grandchild sports events , and my own sibling was babysitting and therefore could stop in for only a few minutes. Needless to say, we had faithfully attended each and every event in the family up to this point, but no one felt the urge to help us celebrate when it was our turn.
Funny thing is, they seem to believe my adult children didn’t notice they were being ignored. They have little interaction with the “loving” relatives who snubbed them. Are we wrong to feel this way? -- MIFFED IN THE MIDWEST My life will never be the same. I know I need to see a counselor because this has gotten the best of me and I don’t know how to move forward. On top of that, my sister died two months ago and I can’t sleep. Please help me. -- SAD IN SOUTH CAROLINA
