Answer #1

These are your kids. Why are you crying. If you’d done something, they would have let you know. So you let them know. Just call one of them up and say ‘I feel hurt that you left us out of your get together’, dont accuse or attack, just express your feelings.

Answer #2

I too am seeing the same thing with not only my own family but some of my friends. It seems that our generation of respect and the want for our elders is a dying one. I feel tossed aside as though I have done by job as childbearing, but now they don’t need nor want me. I have expressed my feelings that only lead to excused from them. I want to know what to do too.

Answer #3

That wasn’t very thoughtful of them… Have you asked WHY they left you out? Let them know how badly it hurt you. It’s possible they just weren’t thinking- which, I know, isn’t really a good excuse.
