you must have been a terrible child

I wasn't (and I'm still not) a horrible child. I was referring to my grandmother. Not my whole family. I guess I should have made that clearer. She tends to forget about random people in our family. She'll have a family reunion and not invite five people because she either forgot we existed or thought we weren't important enough. She doesn't have a mental illness or anything like that. I didn't mean that my situation was exactly like the OP's. I just meant that members of both of our families have a way of making you feel insignificant.

man that would suck, not getting invited to vacation, but your ex gets to go.....

I don't understand how someone's parents could be that cruel to their own child..

Some say, if you want to get screwed, go to a whore house, but if you really want to get effed, go see a family member.

That sounds like a load of horse-shit. Did you tell them you wanted to go, or was it just them forgetting to invite you?

Irrespective of what someone is like, family is family.

Blood means nothing. Family is about how you connect with and feel about someone.

agreed

Wow...what did you do to make them act that way?

I'm pretty sure the saying is black sheep, not purple..

no no, it's purple:)
