Uninvited for Christmas Day evening

So the plan was that I'd meet my daughter at her boyfriends tomorrow evening after she's spent the day with her dad.
I get on really well with the boyfriends family (or at least I thought I did!) but his mum texted DD this morning to say it wasn't convenient for me to go there as a family member wasn't well, but DD was still welcome.
She knows I'm going to be on my own on Christmas Day and that I'm not a party animal who's going to upset anyone.
I've arranged to go to a friend's for the evening and pick DD up later but I just don't understand why she's done this.
I'll be fine tmrw, just a bit sad tonight.

Sounds like your daughter is feeling responsible for you having a good Christmas. She 'had to' go to her Dad's for the day. Then she also wants to see her boyfriend that day.
She must be feeling pulled apart at the seams trying to please everyone.

Short notice. Something absolutely horrible happened to me one christmas and I had a friend and his friend coming. I just warned that I am a mess and if they are still up for it, they are welcome. They did and helped me get through that time. I wish you have a nice xmas somehow xx

Family member isn't well? How ill? Sorry that you're disappointed OP, I guess it depends on what's going on with the family member to whether they are BU to uninvite you or not.
