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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was told I'm not invited to my best friend's birthday party. Apparently, being divorced and childless doesn't "mesh" well with the rest of the group. My parents are still watching her kids so she can go away for the weekend. FML
Today, there's a family reunion in my parents' backyard. I'm not invited because my Mom, Dad, Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents are upset that I'm divorcing my ex-husband. Apparently, trying to kill me doesn't matter since he's funny, always made excellent barbecue chicken in past reunions, and everybody loves him. FML
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
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 realized the only reason I was invited to go on vacation with my extended family was so I could babysit everyone's children while the adults go out and have fun. FML
Today, my whole family made an hour-long drive to a restaurant that's just a few minutes away from my place. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, my parents left on a trip. I wanted to invite my girlfriend over for a few days so we could spend them together. Then my grandparents turn up, "just for a few days, until your parents return, so you won't be all alone in this big house." FML
Today, I took my parents and 3 sisters to the airport so they could take a trip to Hawaii. I wasn't invited because they don't like my husband. They asked me to watch the dog and water the plants. FML
Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML
Today, I found out that even after a really bad break up and the fact that I left him for someone else, my parents offered my ex-boyfriend to join us on a one week family vacation. He agreed. FML

That sucks for sure. Though if the OP has kids, but ex has custody I can kinda see this happening.

eeeh my parents would only invite my ex to the mountains to push him off... Hey maybe thats why they invited them? Its most likely that they wanted some time with the grandkids and this was the only way. Must be hurtful tho honey Im sorry for you I know Id be livid.

This is probably what they are planning and they just wanted you to have a good alibi OP!!

Gotta say YDI on this one. Some people are total ******* drags on vacations and are notorious for complaining about everything and being unable to just shut up and relax and have a good time. My oldest sister is like that and, after a long "girl's trip" between my mother and my sisters, upon returning my mother said she would never invite or bring my sister on a vacation again. She doesn't have any ill will toward her, she just doesn't want to put up with the misery, selfishness, constant attitude, bitching, and arguments. When you take a vacation, you're supposed to leave that stuff behind, not take it with you. You're divorced, too, so maybe it's not just trips, but your personality in general. Has more than one person ever called you a ****, to your face or behind your back? How 'bout a whiner? Snot? Infant?

There's no evidence of this, "anti-vacation". I wouldn't say YDI, not enough info. Sorry your sister made your vacation crappy, but would your mom invite someone in her place? I think I'll reserve judgement on this one...not enough info.

Also, a trip to the mountains sounds like everyone sharing cabins. Who wants to be cooped up with a buzzkill?

I'm gonna say there's more to this story and you probably deserve it. If you've ticked them off so bad, they'd invite him, you must have done something pretty horrible. Are you divorced because you cheated on him or gambled away all of your money? There's got to be a pretty good reason your family would invite his girlfriend along too, since that's deliberately a huge disapproving slap in the face.

I am with you on that. You must have pissed someone off or are a royal pain in the ass. Take a hint you stupid **** they don't want you for a reason. Especially since they invited the ex-hubby AND the girlfriend.
