Dp and I have been together 7 years, we have 1 DS together and dp has dss who also lives with us.

A couple months ago fil mentioned doing a big family holiday, dp said sounds good let us know details. I get on great with ils so i was also fine with it. Dps brother got in touch to arrange booking. It seems I’m not invited. It’s fil, mil, dp sil (dh sister) and bil (dh brother) plus dss and DS. Dp asked why and apparently bil was awkward and said something about mil and fil wanting it to be just family!!
Dp has said he doesn’t feel comfortable talking to fil about it. It seems he’s going and taking ds, dss.

Im so upset, it’s never occurred to me im not family. I spend lots of time with fil and mil , attend family events etc. I’ve been in their lives 7 years!
Dp thinks I need to let it go but aibu to be upset?

No YANBU, not at all! I would be hurt too. You have been with your DP 7 years and your the Mum of their grandchild, of course you are family! I think your DP needs to be growing a pair and speaking up. Also might be worth you having a quiet word with them? Ask them why they don't see you as family and explain how hurt you are

Dp thinks I need to let it go

He fucking what?! He’s not going it if? Utter madness.

Hell no. I’d be beyond furious.

If I was in your DH’s position, I wouldn’t be going.

Does his sister and brother not have partners then?
