I just have to say that I understand EXACTLY how you feel!!!
My MIL is the same way. We talk to keep to the peace basically. However, she has treated my daughter like a red-headed step childfor years! She has 6 grandchildren and 1 step granddaughter. For years my daughter(who isn't the step-grandchild, she is treated better than my own) who is only 10 has gone without a birthday card and/or present, and hasn't been sent a Christmas card and/or present either. We live about 3 hours away but we use to live only 30 min away. Since we have moved the presents have all stopped. MInd you she has a son who lives in Florida that she MAILS cards and gifts to all the time!!! When my daughter was little she was never invited to go to movies or to go get ice cream,or to even go shopping, and OH she was never invited to go to the beach. The other grandchildren were invited to do it all.
This has been going on for YEARS!For the past few years I have had to MAKE my DH call his mom and dad on Mother's and Father's day. No more... I have had about all I can take. I didn't mean to hijack your post. I just wanted to let you know that I REALLY do understand how you feel. All I can do is offer a ((HUG))...
I still haven't gotten over it just ask Tink. LOL She hears all about it from time to time. My MIL has talked about her jewelry and how she wants to leave this to so and so... Of course my daughter's name and my husband's name are never mentioned. I wish I could offer a solution but I am still searching for my own. It is really hard to handle and feelings do get hurt. If you are like me you are personally not hurt by this but you are hurting because your children are being treated this way. I can't say that I blame you one bit for not wanting to go over there anymore. It sure would be hard for me! ((HUGS))
Tink has said it many times... You can mess with me all you want but you had better not mess with my kids!
