Today, and after a lot of effort to reconnect with my family after a while of limited contact, I found out from the family group text that my mom, sister, and grandmother went on a vacation without me, and I didn’t even know about it until they posted some airport selfies. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I looked at my sister's Instagram story, and saw her, my brother, and my father all on a family road trip to Reno without me. I wasn't told anything about it. FML
Today, I went to visit my parents after 4 years of not seeing them. They'd moved without telling me. FML
Today, I found out that my parents forgot to invite me out to eat with them. I found this out when my mom invited my sister right in front of me. FML
Today, I found out that my family has paid for and booked a trip to Dubai without me. They weren't going to tell me until they were about to board but since I was crying that my friend ditched me for my holiday, they thought they would let me know. FML
Today, my parents, my two sisters and their significant others went on a vacation and dropped their children at my house without ever asking me. I'm single, live alone, and can barely make ends meet, and they know it. FML
Today, I reunited with my mother and my sisters after a long time. I actually walked out of the reunion, too, after I drove 800 km away, only to find out that they're fighting over my late father's inheritance. I had vanished from my family because they were always possessive and crawling up my ass every time. FML
Today, I wasn't able to reply to Facebook chat message immediately, so my friends planned a holiday and bought flights without me. FML
Today, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML
Today, it's been almost two weeks since any of my relatives have talked to me. They are still mad because I didn't go on a Labor Day trip with them and I've found out why. Apparently, they had plans for me to babysit my younger cousins any time they wanted to do something fun. FML
Today, I lost my job because my mom and stepdad forced me to go on our family vacation, even though my time off got rejected. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I understand your feeling left out, but while you were estranged did you expect the rest of the family to either sit at home or keep you informed of their activities? OP, did you do that? … Life is usually long, you will have other activities either with people you choose to be with or with your family. Be glad that you have apparently reconnected with your family and don’t dwell on “what you missed.” If you dwell on that, you are liable to miss out on future good times.

Hey, at least they didn't block you from the family group text... ...yet.

Obviously they don't share your enthusiasm for reconnection. Sadly this is not uncommon in this day and age.

Maybe they booked the holiday while you were not talking to them. I’m sure they were unaware that you would try reconnecting with them at that certain time. I’m sure it was anything against you.
