I got married this year aged 30 and both our families were there.
When I was growing up my Dad had full custody of both my sister and I. He met a woman and we lived together as a unit for 10 years until she cheated and became a heroin addict so we lost touch with her and step brother.
Fast forward and Dads been with current partner for 14 years, she has 2 children in their late twenties and we're all starting to grow apart. Having spent Christmasses with dad and step family for years his partner emailed me today to say that they (her, her daughter and my dad) would not be about at Christmas because they're going to stay in Cornwall.
My Dad's really the 1 person I would really like to see over the festive season as my dear sister lives in France.
I just feel unwelcome every where and my Mum normally spends xmas with my Granny and her side of the family.
Is it because I'm married now that people expect me to just be having my own christmas?
Has this happened to any of you?
Thanks for reading.
