I know I'm being awful and probably need a good talking to.
I have always been close to my sister. She has always been more attractive and much more popular than me .she has lovely kids, so do I, and a lots of money, she has a very successful career.
My husband and myself have supported her A LOT and were honestly really happy to do this. She split up with her partner when her children were young and we really did look after them take them on holidays etc.
A few years ago she met a new partner and it has been a slow burn on and off really.
About 18 months ago he moved in with her and since then we seem to be no longer welcome in her house. In that time I've been there a handful of times.
They have been here lots of times for dinner and we have included them in lots of special occasions.
I feel so angry and discarded as though my usefulness is over. She sends texts to communicate with rather than speak to me.
They often go to events concerts cinema meals out and never invite us to go.
I have aset of friends that we do things with and I always invite my sister and her partner and they always come. Now I don't want to invite them but it would feel so aggressive not to.
I know they don't need to ask us everywhere and probably he doesn't like us much but I feel so furious with her for "dumping" me.
I know I'm behaving like a sulky teenager towards her, I'm annoying my own lovely husband by obsessing about it all.
I can't work out why I feel like this. Jealous? Resentful? Left out?
Whatever it is I have to grow up and I am hoping some straight talking will make me see sense
