I (43f) found out all my siblings are in Paris through my 15 year old who saw pictures on FB and asked me about it.
At first I thought it was a joke or filter but after I called my step-dad I confirmed that indeed my siblings were all in Paris for a week and I hadn’t been invited or told about it at all. I had recently talked to my oldest sister who had mentioned a special trip with her daughter to Paris, I was really excited for her. She failed to mention that it was with my 2 brothers, their families and our other sister. I still would have been excited for her. When my dad finally responded to my text asking if my siblings were all on a trip together I was told I was being dramatic and needed to get over it because I wouldn’t have been able to afford it so they didn’t invite me. My siblings are all well off and I am disabled and barely making ends meet on SSI. I told my dad it wasn’t about me not going, it was about not even being invited or told. He said he wasn’t invited either and I didn’t see him whining.
I don’t think it’s the same at all. I just wish they would have asked me and let me decide for myself if I could go or not. It just sucks so badly, I feel like they are ashamed of me. I already feel less than by society as a whole and now my family. It’s made me incredibly depressed like why am I even here, the people that are supposed to love me would rather believe I don’t exist. I ended the night crying and blocked everyone on everything.
Edit to add: the blocking wasn’t just because of this. This is just the final straw on the camels back.
Edit 2: I never expect them to pay for me and especially for an expensive trip like this. My brothers take international trips frequently and I see those pictures online and think that’s awesome. I was sad because this was everyone minus me. It’s a big trip for my sisters and I guess I would have liked a heads up.
