To feel super hurt?

[HarriwithanI]

This is majorly outing but I need somewhere to talk. A close family member is having a big celebration tonight in a big venue with 250 people. All family (my siblings, DC etc) are invited. I’m literally the only one not to be.

Not to drip feed, my family are Christian (give a bad name to genuine Christian’s) and I’ve always been the “black sheep” - Dc outside of marriage, tattoos, bright hair. As a teen I lived with my gran as I was classed as ‘unruly’ (I suffered MH and my DP don’t believe in it - God and prayer should’ve been the answer).

Therefore don’t really have a relationship with my DP but they have a relationship with my DS’.
I’ve still been invited to family events - this is the first ever one I haven’t. The only thing that’s changed is I’ve gone no contact with my mum (toxic relationship). I’ve still some sort of a relationship with my dad.

I know it’s silly but it stings, I’m so hurt. It’s a small community so will be completely obvious I’m not there.

I think I would also be having a word at school. They should not be talking to grandparents without parental responsibility unless parents are aware.

I definitely will be. This has happened before..
DM is a headteacher (at a different school) so respected.

Sounds like u were lucky not to get an invite, enjoy yr time without them.

If it's happened before, I'd be going to the governors to.
I understand it's not your main problem, though.

The head governor is the pastor of their church and broke gdpr massively before when it came to dc/dp (being ‘investigated’)

I changed my username thinking it would automatically on all my previous posts for anonmynity but it hasn’t worked 😳
