[FULL STORY] My Parents Forgot To Invite Me To the Family Reunion, So I Showed Up With a...

[@erickaennis2738]

This story is about the fact that the mother just doesn't like her youngest daughter, and turned the family against her. Op doesn't fit the mold she wants for her family. She can't control her. I would also wager that the mom is jealous of Op. That could also explain her need to demean and exclude her. I hope Op stays NC with her mom. This needs an update like a year later. Wish Op happiness and peace. She deserves it.

[@karinefonte516]

I'd extend NC to the father ("drama queen", seriously!) and the siblings. Heck, let the family out of your business and go make your own with your fiancé, girl. Chosen family is always better.

[@pandamoon8067]

Nah OP not attention seeking the parents AH if you have 1 kid that’s fine you have 3 or 4 6 kids you as parents don’t leave your own kids out now blow to there face never play victim when you treat your own kids like that most of all OP brother and sister no better thinking they are mighty and highly they are not they mad OP called them out the sister ego is bruise ranting on social media shows sister is pathetic nothing else

[@karendebbiejohnson7480]

Op missed a golden opportunity there. Once she found out about the gathering, she should have made this HUGE party for her engagement, not invite ANYONE from her side of the family and just her friends, then post the whole shit on social media. When the family will inevitably start calling, she should have replied that OP thought they would be too busy for the party, so she didn't bother them. Also, ensure the wedding is at the most inconvenient time possible for them and post it all on social media. If the don't rise to the bait, you know you are better off without them.

[@merykhan97]

The dad wasn't "silent". He was part of the problem. He called her a "drama queen" for leaving a reunion they excluded her from. He favored her siblings and belittled her for years. He's only reaching out now for two reasons, he's being exposed and people are siding with OP, he's also afraid of being cut off. Can't wait for him being abandoned by the devil he married.

[@caitlinkehler2708]

At the reunion, I'd have asked sis if she knew which kid she was going to favor and which she was going to ignore. I mean, that IS how they were raised.

[@alicegauteng2358]

That's a good one

[@bethmoran6190]

When someone shows you who they are, you need to believe them.

[@lindah3803]

After hearing about OP's engagement. Dad finally Saw how his wife and kids treated OP. Now he's worried that he won't get to see/walk OP on her wedding day. Plus he'll miss out on any possible grandkids. Now he just needs to decide just how disgusted he is with his wife and kids. What he is actually willing to do about it. If I were OP. I would invite the cousins and Aunt to the wedding. The one cousin that stepped up and backed OP in front of the family could walk her down the aisle. Or maybe the Aunt. As for the rest of the family, F'em. There wouldn't be any redemption or chance for Mom, Brother or Sister.

[@shells500tutubo]

The dad was right up there with the same attitude as the mother and sibs.

[@SeymourJ.MetzShmuel]

Family is everything, but those hypocrites weren't family. Family is the people who treat you like family.

[@shoshanaudelson4481]

I really liked the quip that the "spouses matched their (the sibling's) resumes"

[@flamelily2086]

Now that OP knows what her family thinks of her, she can cut them out of her life and make her life with her fiancee. When her family ask her why she didn't invite them to her wedding OP can tell them that she didn't think that they would be interested in attending.

[@josettecanape9284]

I would love to see another update on this story. I hope OP doesn’t invite her family to her wedding.

[@racingboss166]

Thank you

[@georgewashington4866]

I've seen similar instances where there is favoritism and when OP's dad decided to try and stop it. I bet there is a deeper reason to why the mom ignores OP but favors her other children and I wouldn't be surprised if anyone shows OP any favor, they would be cut off from the family, no matter what

[@Yes-itsaboutthelaw]

I have a friend that is like this in real life. Her mom and sister have so ostracized her from the family by telling stories about her that other family members won’t even talk to her at family events. In her case, it’s for daring to be most “American” (and not being a boy, because the Americanized boys don’t get the same treatment) in a family of immigrants. She gets blamed for literally everything, from the house she doesn’t live in being cluttered and dirty to ruining family events, and I have watched them call her fat and stupid to her face. It’s really crazy watching every negative emotion a family has be directed at a single person.

[@LiamGardner-u9k]

1 schedule your marriage for the time of uour sisters kid birth, and make it destination wedding out of the country..and do not invite them.

[@therarestphoenix5254]

I despise parents who play favoritism... NEVER anger the unwanted child.

[@Knuckles2761]

In real life unwanted child always have far less power and resources than the Golden One. It is actually quite safe to anger them. Not saying it is fair, just a reality check.

[@Panwere36]

The OP obviously beyond the better person. The fact her mother didn't even tell her the reunion because she cannot control her younger child. She had every right to do what she did. The fact that the extended family at least were shocked, unlike the mother and the siblings. The father obviously had given his balls to the mother. The extended family seeing that the father, mother, and siblings are gaslighting narcissists, especially the mother, and that has taken the control away from her.. She lost control because she is used to being the center of attention and the mother needs to be locked up in a mental hospital. The extended family are no longer willing to be gas lit, and that screams volumes as well as what the OP and her fiance did, and I totally hope that they have had a great wedding and are having a great life. I have a suspicion that the father is going to end up divorced. The sister's "comment" about "dirty laundry" especially is telling: there very well is a divorce coming for the parents.. and the extended family are now not letting the gaslighting go unchallenged.

[@missmuller7867]

Nursing homes!!!😂😂😂😂

[@umagovindaraj4339]

Girl I understand that you are emotionally neglected for a long time and you long for an emotional bond with your family but even now as an adult when the realisation hits ya that you are obviously an afterthought in your family if you try force your way onto em that's toxic and unhealthy, it's unlikely they ever gonna realise it and love ya after all these years but if you do this you are the one who will get even more hurt. What u now experience is Obsession - of being acknowledge by your family...And you know you are better off without em and they are toxic influence on ya but u just don't wanna admit it.

[@Rockspaws]

I agree!! she’s also a attention seeker just bc her siblings need more attention for their parnets bc of their kids she’s jealous and she’s a grown adult!

[@Vineethajojo]

Don't invite them to your marriage Hahaha 😂

[@rhylecristyaborde7998]

wtf is going on inside your mind? it seems like you lack the capability to comprehend simple scenarios and create your own narrative​@@Rockspaws

[@ronaldtipton6035]

Can we also take a moment to realize that while her parents are all about image, THEY STILL HAVE A FREAKING GRAVEL DRIVEWAY!!!!

[@clairemuchai]

Idk why this made me chuckle 🤭

[@carolrasberry6904]

I've been excluded from family events for over 2 years now and it doesn't bother me. Op keep doing what you've been doing. You're the better person

[@Pepxsq]

Why did you have to do it like this😭? Not inviting them to the wedding and inviting others would be much easier

[@KristenLeder]

Family is not blood, It’s the people who care about you ❤❤❤

[@kickingitwithkei2515]

Her dad is just trying too save face too walk her down aisle

[@georgeluthy6512]

She should start her own traditions like annual party with friends, boyfriend's family and cousins

[@BrettHarvey-u6c]

She drove there, so why did she need the boyfriend?

[@gypsyrose-qq9nz]

And it took her 3 hours to get there . He got there in minutes

[@karinefonte516]

@@gypsyrose-qq9nz 1) He was around, she mentioned they had a plan about it. 2) She was not really in condition to drive, first out of stress, second because she DRANK during the event. Hell would freeze if I played an appearing stunt like that one and then left to be arrested for DUI and give more ammo to my birthers humiliate me...

[@egm8602]

They drove together and he kept the car at a short distance so she could go into the house alone.

[@georgegreen-lc8ig]

Her boyfriend is Barry Allen.​@@gypsyrose-qq9nz

[@G3r3s3ph]

​@egm8602 that's a huge hole in the plot because they don't mention it....

[@waynemarshall1476]

Should invite everyone from the family to the wedding, except the siblings and parents. Just to show a mutual level of respect.

[@lindah3803]

Nope. Just the cousin's who supported her. Also the Aunt that sent her the private message and showed up for the engagement party.

[@met999000]

I don't think I would've forced my way into the event that you were excluded from. I would have sent out a note about your engagement.And then I would not invite them To the wedding

[@brianarnold8666]

Family isn't who shares your blood, its who has your back when you need it

[@ronaldtipton6035]

Wait, she saw in social media that everyone was at a reunion without her, called her mom the next day, had time to hatch a plan and make cookies, drove 3 his to her mom's house, and the reunion was still going on? Did all these people stay overnight? Also, She said she drove three hours there, Then she called her boyfriend to pick her up, And he was there in five minutes? Why didn't she just drive home herself? And how fast is the boyfriend driving?

[@G3r3s3ph]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@shells500tutubo]

Teleporting, WITH the car.🤣😂😅

[@Re-play9820]

maybe just cut ties with them if they don't want you, be strong and stand up for yourself

[@eileenlundin6256]

She drove there. Then boyfriend drove her home. What happened to her car

[@HoneyDrop-gb5le]

After the dad’s message i would just type back that he was the trash i needed to take out and the fact he was still on good terms with people that my life a hell proved he was no fit for my life and also call him out that not only he didn’t stand up but also were an active part of it and after telling him that all of them are awful and blocking them. The dad’s attempt to feel less guilty is just pathetic.

[@RiverSongBlackstarr]

How could OP ruin an announcement for an event that she wasn't invited to. She didn't tell her parents because they probably would have dismissed it. It makes me wonder if OP was Adoped or unexpected. I've never been excluded from anything because of my job choices but because my schedule wasn't flexible for family events.

[@lilithiaabendstern6303]

no, she was an unplaned "accident" after a drunken new year celebratoin - hence why her family called her nupps as in new year's upps - maybe listen to the whole story next time

[@Itsmysecret17]

I just feel bad for op. Thats it.

[@gwenrichard7507]

She delivered a public apology

[@Emilys_pretty_in_pink]

Why do I always start feeling the pain the op feels in this kind of story?! Honestly I can’t even imagine the feeling but I feel so much sadness for some reason on behalf of op. It’s just another example of how greedy for something but when someone workes so hard to give them that thing they so desperately needed it’s just another item in the house.😢

[@sambrown2322]

The mum's the prime puppet master in this story as she speaks, everyone listens. It's incredibly upsetting how one immediate family member (OP's mum!) can turn most of their family against OP. OP's mum's one true narcissist!!!

[@jamesnicholls9969]

I wonder if she is a affair baby

[@Questfinder1]

She left her car there? Wow

[@vickirasmussen4791]

I have a cousin who got married 2 times and had a child, and we were never told. This is before Facebook. We found out because my grandmother actually said something in a phone call. Well no of the cousins were invited to my brother's wedding.

[@sandrabieckmann2187]

You did great.. but i understand it's hard.. ❤

[@OynxWolf11]

At least the Father is trying to make amends. As for the other and Sister, screw them. It's Op's Choice what she does, and it sounds like she did pretty good for herself. "The Blood of the Covenant is thicker than the Water of the Womb". Blood doesn't make a Family, Bonds do. Those who truly love you are your Family.

[@gabriellatheora1647]

I've never commented on videos like this, but at 12:04, how in the world do you add yourself back into a group chat if you're not even being invited by the admin group chat???

[@kakeexchan]

I would not even invited the sister, mom, and brother to the wedding. Only allowed the dad to attend

[@princessstarpeach9161]

No he worst as well.

[@elizasecretkid]

WE NEED MORE.

[@GirlWthGlasses]

Family is Sooooo Not everything, even the Bible says bonds of love are stronger then bonds of blood therefore family is the people you cherish and love unconditionally not just the people you came from. So No family is not everything not even close.

[@bforman1300]

She drove herself, but needed bf to come get her? The drive is 3h but he's there in minutes? I'm done.

[@sherrybarber2547]

That is a amazing finance! He supports ur decision THAT IS FUCKING LOYALTY HOLYYYY SHITTTTTTTTT EFFING LOYALTY also have a weeding without any of the parents only the cousins that supported u

[@Mop222]

If you drove 3 hours why would your boyfriend come get you!

[@G3r3s3ph]

I thought I had missed something!

[@shells500tutubo]

And it seems he got there in record time! I mean parked around the corner record time.

[@ranareda4990]

Because I think you business is going very well

[@chadsmith99]

I'm confused. She drove herself to the party but her fiance came and picked her up? So she just abandoned her car at her parents' house?

[@angelmok3608]

1:03 if from short

[@TacoCat_Fabio]

There's nothing that I more than people that want to force others to like them, it's like a black person being mad for not being allowed to join the kkk. At least almost at the end of the story she finally put effort into people that really matter

[@Cecilia-w6p1t]

1:05 for shorts

[@SportsLuke-ff2zm]

1:36 1:48 SO IF THEY THINK ITS BECAUSE UR ALWAYS BUSY WITH WORK, THEN YOU SAY ITS BECAUSE OF WORK AND ITS AN OK EXCUSE? JUST THIS BEGINNING SEEMED LIKE U WERENT REASONABLE

[@youtubeboy3692]

men.i think (past test) she will be rich and the fam bro and.sis will bankrupt and tell her to give some money to the fam

[@hanhounjenelle5502]

19:20 "AHhh" ??

[@ranareda4990]

You should let your them pay the price why don’t you be pregnant with 3 babies and then the tell the whole family and become a millionaire

[@w7100]

but they already had the family reunion? and your boyfriend was picking you up 3 hours away to a place you drove to?

[@G3r3s3ph]

THANK YOU! She drove the 3 hours, but he was able to drive up quickly...AND they left her car there?

[@TheShannie33]

This is fun creative writing.

[@misskate3815]

It’s bad.

[@amyshehi4731]

How did she get her car home?

[@Annybananny06]

Taxi? Uber? Lyft? A friend?

[@ongoingswitch2633]

Announcing your engagement after someone else announces their second pregnancy 🤦‍♂️ Even if you werent in the wrong alot of the older folks and even the younger middle aged ones are going to think its jealousy

[@shells500tutubo]

I don't see how. It is not a first baby, so who gives a damn?

[@ongoingswitch2633]

@shells500tutubo Rip all middle and youngest siblings by your logic then

[@iononcantomascrivo]

She treated everyone around her like they were garbage or transactional if they had a resource that she covered in which to exploit. Being such a superficial, phony stuck up witch, she alienated anyone who ever gave a damn about her. So when she inevitably found herself in hot water, usually as a result of the combination of all of her toxic behavior, she was left to sink in the quicksand. I remember she tried to whine to me and use me as a dumping ground for all of her emotional trauma. I didn't let her get a word in. I told her she did it to herself, that she could add me to the long list of people who had walked out of her life. I asked her, at what point would she ever realize that she was the root cause of all of her problems, that she was the, denominator I had done all of this to herself? She said nothing. I asked her how she didn't finally get a wake-up call when her own daughter cut her off and borrowed her from seeing her only grandchild. That pissed her off and she tried to yell at me again. I told her she could scream and cry all she wanted up to and including when she loses her voice, but she still had to contend with the monster of a son she had raised 3 years of overindulging him and lack of discipline. Graduated high school and moved off to college or wherever it was he ended up going, because her husband was going to divorce her ass. She'd been dead way to her since they got married and she always put his finances in the red. She had nothing of her own colon and no car, no money, no job, no equity. Everything she had was made possible by her husband. I told her he was a saint for putting up with her and that marriage is an institution. He was about to make his escape. She was terrified.
