My cousin is getting married in the summer in a foreign country. I have posted before about not being able to bring my autistic son as it’d be too much for him, and this means my husband has to stay with him. The thing is, my cousin and I haven’t been getting on, I have actually posted a few AIBUs about arguments we’ve had recently. Anyway, I haven’t seen her for about six weeks, and the last time I saw her she brought up something we always argue about and I politely suggested we drop the subject as we will never agree on it and I don’t want an argument. She got very huffy and I haven’t heard from her or her mum (my aunt) since. It was my birthday last week and all I got was a text, and they told my mum they were going to come and see me but left the card in work so would come another day. It’s a week later and nothing so it’s safe to say they just didn’t bother coming to see me. I am not at all bothered about a birthday card but I am feeling a bit disappointed that they didn’t come to see me on my birthday, even for ten minutes as they always have done before and I always make a fuss on their birthday. The flights for the wedding are coming up and to be honest I am seriously thinking about stepping down. The hotel and flights and bridesmaids dress are a fortune and It just seems a crazy amount of money for someone I’m not very close to anymore and the whole thing just doesn’t seem worth it. Im not looking forward to having to be away from my son and husband, and have been told if I don’t do this I can “jog on” and if I don’t do that I can “jog on” . So I think I just might! And as much as this may sound spiteful I just don’t feel like going to these extreme lengths to do this someone who doesn’t give a fig whether I’m there or not xx
