Today, my mother not only told me that my ex-husband will be spending Thanksgiving with her and my dad, but that I'm also no longer invited to spend the holiday with my family. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother called to uninvite me from Christmas, my ex-wife is going and she doesn't want it to be awkward for her. FML
Today, my mum told me she would rather spend Christmas with her boyfriend than with her own family. FML
Today, my parents invited all their kids and grandkids to join them on a vacation trip to the mountains; all their kids except me, that is. I'm not invited. But they did invite my ex-husband. And his new girlfriend. FML
Today, I found out my family's Thanksgiving was canceled. Why? Because my mom doesn't want to cheat on her diet, so we aren't having it at all. FML
Today, my mom is coming to pick up the Christmas presents we got for her and her husband. She won’t come inside or come within 6 feet, so she can be healthy when she goes down to the ex-wife’s parents house to hang out. The ex in-laws that hate me. Glad my mom chose them over me. FML
Today, my dad told my mom to only drop off my sister for Thanksgiving and not me. Guess I was wrong about him wanting to work on our relationship. FML
Today, I found out my ex got invited to our Christmas Party. I also found out that she got much more presents and money from my family than I did. FML
Today, I found out that I'm not welcome at my boyfriend's dad funeral, because his ex-wife has invited herself, and it would be too awkward to explain to his extended family, most of whom apparently don't yet know that he's divorced. FML
Today, I spent Thanksgiving alone. I'm not close to my family, I'm the black sheep but my sister said she would come over. To my surprise, she ended up going to my family's', where I'm not wanted. My boyfriend went to his family's, so I spent the whole day alone. He'd even took my dog. FML
Today, I had to break up a fistfight between my wife and mother. Apparently, my mom heard that I finally got the great paying job of my dreams, and told my wife I'd finally kick her "useless ass to the curb." We have to spend the holidays together. FML

That sucks, OP. Why won't you take revenge and go on a family holiday with your ex mother-in-law?

31 I see these FMLs ALL the time. My guess is she cheated on him and left him with the kids, or cleared out his bank account, etc.... Something along those lines. Family isn't going to disown you and pick up the ex because you forgot to bring a dish to a party or something.

What is this...I don't even? What kind of family is that ? Sorry for having so rude of a family, OP.

Holy crap we have the same mother! My mother not only banned me from visits but had my exhusband his new wife and her two kids living with her and my brother.

I can't help but think that OP must have done something terrible in order to have their own parents favour the ex over them. Reserving judgement until OP posts again.

Jerk...you are family...that makes you not showing up not right...you could maybe show up anyway...

Why would she show up? They dont want her there... Who gives her the right to show up at her parents house uninvited?

Im guessing op sucks a lot since her family dont want her for the festivities

You probably cheated on him, causing the divorce, and your family feels bad so they invited him to thanksgiving.

Sounds like you got disowned

If the majority is agreeing that you shouldn't come, you must have done something. They wouldn't uninvited for being charming. Perhaps it is time to reflect

Your parents need professional help. And a conscience
