AIBU to feel upset about school mums

I was stood at the school today waiting for my kids and stood with some of the mums who I have stood and chatted to for the last year.
They were all talking about their christmas night out and what they were going to eat etc but no-one had invited me
I felt really awkward and left out and it took me back to being in the school playground 30 years ago. I felt so awkward I walked off.
I have been invited on nights out in the past by one of the mums in the group who I knew for a while before the others but never been able to go as my hubby and I work shifts. Recently I have been a little withdrawn from them as one of my close friends shot himself dead four weeks ago and I have struggled to cope and not been particularly sociable.
I did tell one of the mums who I knew well about his. The mum I know really well was not there today.
I felt so awkward and really upset and left out. I wish they had not discussed infront of me. I just feel like they don't like me . {sad}

YANBU, I think you were really brave to get in touch with the other mum and you have made that hard step to get back in the socialising "circle".
If no-one gets in touch and they really are horrible, well at least you've found out now and you don't have to go on pretending to be friendly with them.

I def. don't think you are pathetic.
But if they do freeze you out well you can stand tall at the gates remembering you have your DH, your 2 monsters and your other friends. You don't need them. They, however, are missing out on your company.
