I don't know where to begin, and I don't want to seem like I'm whining, but maybe I am. My family treats me like I don't exist. They will come into town, stay with my mohter who lives in the same town as I do, and do social things that I'm not invited to. I won't even be informed that they are in town. In fact, my brother and sister-in-law do not speak to me at all, but if they are in town and need a babysitter, then I'm good enough for that job. Plus, they send my sister b'day and xmas presents, but I don't even get so much as an acknowledgement that I exist. They haven't called, emailed me in years, yet alone sent me so much as a card for my b'day. This really does make me feel like %#@&#! and they are in town right now, pulling their usual %#@&#!. I'm Ok for a babysitter, but when it comes to actually including me in plans, well then, things become "cloudy". it really hurts me., and I've tried to tell them that. I've tried to be fun and funny with them, I've tried EVERYTHING!
