My younger sister did not invite me to her son's b-day party (N-2). So I took my nephew's birthday present to the party with me and gave it to my mother to give to N-2.

My younger sister did not come to the party for N-1 because today is her birthday and she wanted to go out to dinner with her family. One of the nasty emails from N-1 was about how selfish I was that I did not attend some of his birthday parties over the years because I was competing my horse on a national level (we were fifth in nation one year in our sport) and my sister kept scheduling the parties when I was already committed to a competition. Anyway, he was actually nice to me without my younger sister there.

Then my younger sister arrived and my mom starts saying, "N-2, come here. Look what grandma has for you!" and goes to give him the present I got him as if she got it for him. My older sister stepped in clarified it was from him and then my younger sister glared at him so he was afraid to take it. When she was not looking, he hugged me though. and my older sister promised to tell him that the only reason I wasn't at his party was because I wasn't invited. She says she will tell him that it isn't that I don't love him.

wow. I am really spouting off at the mouth. or fingers.

Thank goodness for your older sister.

I remember a therapist once lamented, that they only ever see the sanest member of the family.

I am bothered by both those things as well. Less so by being a cultural outsider - that's just a matter of not getting a lot of the references, but I can always look them up and learn something new. Gender and time zones are harder to get away from.

I want to relax on the couch here but it's stressful. I guess that's it. Hmm. This is something for me to be aware of.

I understand this feeling. For me, the sense of being invisible is not negative - in RL I only really feel safe when I'm alone, and invisibility would be a great thing for me I think - but at the same time it can be really hard to see one's posts go unanswered. I'm so used to this kind of fast-moving forum threads that I don't see it as unusual. I think it's a matter of expectations and getting used to the pace. From where I can see, you fit in just fine, Rainbow, and are not invisible.

Hmm. I don't think that's true for my family. Definitely not for current family (H is completely sane), but not in FOO either. Nice statement, though
