i am getting married soon, abroad as my dp is european. my sister has said -her final excuse, she can't come as its too hard to organise the flights. i mean, she has only known for a year, doesn't work and has 24 hr access to the internet.
her excuse before that was she didn;t want to hire a car and could my dp drive them about? we said we would arrange taxis, as we are getting married and have a tiny baby to look after. she also looked up the hotel on the internet and said that she didn;t want to stay there (no specified reason, although she said it looked very modern, not a chateaux)
she also has stopped her son coming as although he really wants to (he is 22) she feels it would make her look bad as she is not going - he said she is making life difficult for him if he goes.
my dp is hugely offended and says she is not welcome in our lives anymore
the rest of my family are coming, however i had my baby 4 months ago and only my mum and dad have been to visit, once or twice (they are v old and driving is a problem for them) their excuse is -through my mum- that its too far (1.5hr drive) but they are ok for a wedding in the south of france. i always used to drive and see them and their families for the last fifteen years, so it makes me really angry and sad.
i don;t know what to think, iyswim, how to react. thinking about it makes me really unhappy - i don;t feel part of a family anymore, i feel as though they never liked me now they have to actually do something, like travel to see me.
