A few weeks ago my SO told me his family was having Thanksgiving on Saturday the 23rd. He said he didn't want to go, though, because his mother would still be visiting family out of the country. His brother and his wife are best friends with his BM2 and really screwed him over by feeding her information on her last ex-parte attempt. So he said he wasn't going.
I told him if he changed his mind, i would go with him, though i was pretty happy not to have to. I made plans to go to my dad's tomorrow night (Sunday) but left tonight open just in case. So just now he tells me he changed his mind, he wants to go. His mother came back early and he always does what she says. Except they moved Thanksgiving to tomorrow night. Apparently they sent the info out on the family group chat last week but SO didn't read it. He has tried many times to add me to the chat but various family members just keep remaking it without me. Friends with BM2 and all. I told him i already made plans with my dad and to go without me.
I mean, there's no way i'm going. I'm happy not to go. Hardly anyone at his family gatherings even acknowledge my presence and i did try hard for several years, cooking and cleaning for these things. I'm still pissed, though. It hurts to be rejected, even by people you don't want to hang out with anyway.

Bye bye, so sad
How sad you can't go to the in-law fest. Cough cough. I hope DH has a good time (fat chance,).
I know. It's better for me to
I know. It's better for me to not have to go. I need to celebrate the situation for the blessing it is. Something to be thankful for!
Yes.
Rejection hurts, regardless of who it is. It makes one question why? Often times it has nothing to do with us, but is a reflection of the person doing the rejecting; that said and acknowledged...it still hurts.
I hope you have a lovely time with your father. Blessings to you.
Blessings to you, too. I'm
Blessings to you, too. I'm going to focus on the positive rather than the rejection part. It really is a gift in some situations.
Hey Rumple,
Hey Rumple,
I only wish that I still had a dad to visit! I lost my own wonderful dad in August and I miss him terribly. Give your father extra hugs tomorrow night and enjoy his company; far better being happy with a fella' who loves you than miserable with folks who who are rude and rejecting. Phooey on them!
I'm so sorry for your loss. I
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom a few years ago and it was sudden. I'd been staying away due to COVID, looking forward to the days of family dinners with her again, but those days never came. You are so right about spending time with people you love while you still can. I won't make the same mistake with my dad. Cancelling on him wasn't even a fleeting thought.
