Kinda curious how other people would react in this scenario, but if there were VERY BIG and important family news, and everyone in the family got told except you, how would you feel? And tbh, the entire situation is f***ed.
Everyone else knew about said important news except me, and we were at a family gathering that was based around celebrating that said news, and I only got told as an after thought, while everyone else had known for about a month. I honestly didn’t even know what the gathering was for when I showed up to it, and just assumed it was a casual dinner with family, until my sister told me what it was. I was kinda butt hurt about things and said “no one tells me anything” in a semi joking/serious manner, and then my family got annoyed at me and said I was overreacting, and they claimed that because I’m in a relationship and don’t live with my parents anymore, that I’m “not apart of the family,” like are we actually dead ass?? I moved 20 minutes away and have lived with my partner for 3.5 years now, but I still message my family weekly and usually visit every 1-2 weeks, and my partner ALWAYS drops everything to go and help them with stuff, and he goes out of his way to check that they’re doing well and are okay… so I got angry at them and then they told me that I’m no longer considered a “close member of the family”
I was then told to leave the event early with my partner because the family needed to discuss “plans,” so we left and my partner was honestly appalled at their behaviour and has said that he no longer wants anything to do with them, and I’m stuck in the middle of it all.
