My family which includes my mother, father, 2 sisters and their husbands and their 3 children are taking a family vacation for 2 weeks. They have been planning this for over a year and are gong to stay at a hotel. My children who all live out of state, are also going. The oldest is flying to his grandparents house and the other 3 have had arrangements made to be met half way in Illinois. The problem is..I haven't been invited. Not one word from my parents. My children ask if I am going ...and I just keep making up excuses saying Mommy has to work and can't go. I feel so lost that my family feels this way about me. And part of me does not want my kids to go. I know I cant punish my kids for my parents ignorance but it hurts. What would you do? Im so angry and upset and cant even imagine how all of them can have a good time knowing what this is doing to me.

Have you tried talking to them and letting them know what you are feeling? Do they know how deeply this is hurting you? I think you should talk to your parents and let them know how you feel. Ask them if you are invited.

I agree, you should talk to your parents. And if they don't want you along, they should have to tell you exactly why. Let them know how bad this is hurting you and that you would really like to go along and get to see your children.

I would..but to be honest..its pride that is holding me back. And maybe being a little stubborn. I havent talked to my parents or my sisters in quite some time and quite frankly the last time I did have contact with my mother it did not go so well. There are so many hurt feelings ..I cant even pick up the phone.

Elebrianne,
Don't let pride get in your way. Life is to short. I know how much you are hurting, and my heart goes out to you. It broke my heart when I read this post. And you are right about not punishing your kids for your parents ignorance. How old are your kids? I would love to chat with you sometime and maybe we can help eachother. I wish you peace in whatever choice you make!

*update* Well, I took everyones advice and called my parents today. I havent talked to them in quite some time so it felt awkward. When my dad answered he acted as if nothing was wrong. Nothing. Even asked me if I was calling to 'check in'...wth?? So, immediatly I asked him what I was suppose to tell my children when they questioned me on why I wasnt going to go on vacation with them and the rest of the family. My dad says, 'Well, we thought maybe you had to work'. I said then "Well, was anyone even going to CALL me and ask me?' He then said "I dont know". Well, there you go. I guess I have my answer now.

I just can't believe that a loving GOD would punish me for infinity for finite transgressions. Any thoughts?
There are times when I can't control it no matter what. I don't punish my kids because I'm afraid how bad it could get. …
This is way off subject but I am desperate and need your opinions ... or maybe it isn't too far off topic because I …
