@Birdofparadise8 good that you don't engage with your dad complaining about your mum.
I have felt rejected by my aunt, I was always really close to her until her youngest son got married. I was at a party for my uncle (her husband) and I was standing next to her and a friend of hers. Daughter in law walks in and my aunt introduced her to her friend and completely ignored me. I was so hurt, especially as my aunt kept going on about her beautiful daughter in law. I felt like I was invisible. My aunts friend turned tome and I said "I'm just the niece." My aunt laughed and still didn't introduce me.
I told my mum and she said my aunt didn't mean anything by it. I should have known mum would support her sister.
I just feel like a failure in my family lately. My dad's sister died last Friday and he didn't even tell me. I found out from a woman I work with who knew my aunt. And thenthe funeral was on Thursday and I wasn't told until after it was over. I'm so hurt and pissed atmy family. Like I'm not even thought of. That kind of rejection just sucks and I don't know how to process it and get through it.
I got rejected so much last year I feel like there is something wrong with me.
