Hello. This weekend has been rubbish and I feel miserable about it. I turned 40 last year and my family (mum, stepdad, sister, brothers and partners) organised a weekend away. I enjoyed it, but they complained about the meal which resulted in getting a refund and a free afternoon tea. My brother and his partner took my mum and stepdad, he didn't ask me. My sister is 40 this year. I feel like it's only fair to organise something, even though she's already going to the Maldives and a girly weekend to Ibiza. My mum and I found a house in Cromer on the seafront we could rent and split between us all it wouldn't cost that much. My brother at first ignored my attempts at communication, then rang and said "her husband said she doesn't want to go somewhere you've been" (I love cromer but haven't been to that house) and that it's not her thing. He wants us to take her to cenreparcs which I can't afford. I'm a single mum. All my siblings have good jobs. My brother has said that we should stay in a tree house. This involves us all sharing bedrooms and it's a lot more expensive. It's also in a field with nothing to do. I thought in cromer we could go to the beach. My brother shouted at me when I tried to reason with him. My mum has sided with him as it's easier. I feel obliged to organise something as my sister helped organise something for me, but it's expensive and I'm upset at how my brothers treated me. On a whole separate note my mum keeps commenting on pictures on my ex mother in law. This woman treated me and my daughter appallingly saying things liked I'd abused and bullied her son and spent his money. None of that is true and I'm still struggling to cope 7 years on from him abandoning me and my daughter. He dad took his life a few years earlier so it's been really hard. My mum keeps writing things like "beautiful lady" on her Facebook page. They were friends before we met but I just feel so hurt by everyone and so alone in life.
