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

I agree with Naked Squirrel and Emrysa. You have got to have done something for them to extend the invitation to your exhusband and girlfriend and not invite you. Even family doesnt stoop that low unless they have a valid reason for it. I mean seriously they prefer your ex husbands company to yours. Well they do, they invited him and not you. So perphaps you should take a look at yourself and figure out why they would do that.

Kill the Bastards. No, Really. I Mean, people change. I Don't care OP's Personality sucks, Maybe he didn't know? Maybe nobody really pointed that out. It's hard to find your own bad sides if you don't know what causes people to make them 'the bad sides'. Okay, off the top, lets say OP is an extra douche like everybody says he could be.Even though, It's still a family. It Shows that the op is a mature woman, since she had a husband, So FYL On this one. Unless she is Really,Really bad i Don't Think she deserves it.

Surely there must be a reason, right? I dont think they would do this if weren't for a good reason. However, if there isn't; FYL.

I understand them. You're probably so fat you would slow them down way too much. YDI and FYParentsL

That hurts. Are you really that much of a bitch or is your family that awful? Either way FYL.

this sounds like something that would happen in my inlaws family- my sister in law is screwed in the head and she has used almost everyone for money, dragged us and her son through an emotional nightmare but wouldn't let us help. We all love her ex-husband, he is a wonderful man and does what he can to keep our nephew in our lives.He was the pall bearer at a family funeral this past summer and he was also encouraged to bring his new gf and her daughter. You've obviously done something to piss your family off. Maybe you need to take a long look at yourself and figure out why

Being the ex-wife that my former spouse's family prefers over him, I have to say you must have done something to really **** up.

I'll bet it's because you never shut up about Amway.
