My dad died 7 years ago...not invited as because myself and my husband were going through a difficult time...I was however invited to bury the ashes...I can not forgive my mother and my sister and I have really tried...I have told my daughter that I do not want anything left to me in her will....I have also told my mother this and she has said she will leave everything to my sister and 2 grandchildren and I am really happy about this. I have always had a difficult relationship with her...being the black sheep of the family. Have offered so many times to help her since my dad died but she prefers my sisters help. Always felt rejected by her I always got on better with my dad. I just can't forget the past and have tried to forgive but seem unable to do so. Therefore have told everyone including her that I will not attend her funeral as it wouldn't seem right. Am I a bad person for feeling this way

You're right about that. But I'm not so sure she's told everyone she's not going in RL, although it wasn't helpful if she told her daughter. And I don't think her mother cares from the sound of it, though obviously I don't know.

She's told everyone on here which doesn't really count because we don't know who she is. It's not like announcing it on Facebook, is it?

And I did agree that she was being dramatic but we all react differently to hurt and it's why I felt being overly harsh didn't help.
