So the third time of not being invited to a family event thing and being actively left out and they kept it a secret from me 😂🤣. I honestly don't know why my face doesn't fit in. It's very upsetting to be honest.

Do they not like your partner? Or have you stood up for something they disagree with?

Not saying either would be fair - but when I've been in a 'black sheep' situation, it's been that ConfusedSad

You have a toxic family. It’s them not you. ❤️

No none of that can't really go in depth about it as outing but basically they never visited my then newborn baby who was poorly in hospital as it was too far but they managed to go to this relatives event which was even further.

it was quite a long time ago and I called them out on it We arranged to have dinner on the day of this recent event and I phoned they didn't answer the phone or call me back today which is out of character as they always do I also text another relative about something unrelated and they never mentioned the event when they text me back. I found out from a third party. I have never felt out with the relative who has the events by the way,and we get along when I see them , I just never get invited to anything 🤣🤣. Sorry for being so obscure.

Me. I will never be good enough for my mother. I finally got the message loud and clear when she didn't come to DH's funeral, I shouldn't have been surprised she didn't come to our wedding and hasn't visited me in over 20 years. If I visit her she can't get me out of her house quick enough.

Yes, that's me. My mum had me early always regretted it, my Nan and Grandad raised me and the rest of my family resented me for it especially one Uncle and my cousins I got the message clearly as a kid what they thought of me. My Dads side of the family have never met my very nearly 9 year old and my Mum has met him twice. My Nan died last year and with that I lost the last of my family.

I'm the black sheep of my family. I've been called all sorts. You are lucky OP, I wish my family would leave me alone.

Me! 🙋🏼‍♀️

PP is right, it’s them being toxic but it still hurts when they’re meeting up and getting on (and posting pics and gushing over how me another on SM)

I can’t offer any advice, as I don’t know what we’re supposed to do to feel better about it.
