How to deal with an invitation?
The family was just invited to a nephew's birthday party. It is actually the first time I have felt included in the families invitation in over two years.
I was always included before I reacted two years ago. I then became the outcast, the black sheep. Everyone blamed me in AH family and they went no contact with me for that time. They wouldn't come over for birthday parties or our childrens special occasions. The parties were always at the in laws house. I didn't know about it until they came over with their unwrapped gifts or talked about thanksgiving meals or Christmas gifts.
They have yet to talk to me about their actions toward me and the family. I told SIL the past is in the past. Part of it still hurts bad. I don't know if I truly want to go yet. Texting to those who want to talk is so much different then being in a room of his supporters. How do I go and leave the hurt at home? I also feel bad that it's not over with yet. Any suggestions?
