OK so they've never liked me, can't even write my name right on a card and it's their Golden Wedding and my sister in law is coming over from NZ. So they have planned a party cos she's coming over and the day after want to take us all out for a meal. I am annoyed cos it's just a charade pretending to play at happy families when the reality is they never see us or their granddaughter and the last time we went out for a meal was just after our wedding 18 years ago.
So I voiced my opinion saying they'd never ask us if t wasn't for SIL being here and I'm made to feel unreasonable and I don't think I am do you?

Are you close to your SIL OP?

Have you visited them, given that they live really close? Do you really believe you've made the effort?

Are you also the type of person who likes closure on things - not just to have things left hanging but to end a friendship or something in a more final way? If so, you're like me.

You're right to feel rejected, although the question remains how far it is coming from you too. But you should do it for your SIL and then go back on your merry little way.
