A little background:

My 35 year old Sister doesn't get along with Mom
My Mom doesn't get along with my 20 year old sisters step-mother in law
My 35 year old Sister doesn't like me because of some comment she said I made about her daughter while at her house(mind you I would never say anything about her daughter! It's mean to say something about someones kids!). She and I always got together and did stuff every Saturday until my 20 year old sister moved back into town. Then all of a sudden this came up and my 20 year old sister and 35 year old sister spend tons of time together and I spend none with either of them... unless of course when the 20 year old needs she needs a baby sister and drops her child off at my house. My 35 year old sister didn't even tell me what I said, just stopped answering my phone calls! This was a couple years ago.
My 35 year old sister has always had issues with me. Always been jealous. The night of my wedding they had to comfort her because she was curled up crying on her front lawn causing a scene. She's a drama queen. She's also the type who occassionally calls mom on mother's day to tell her what a horrible mother she is (what is the purpose of this!). She has always tried to turn family against me by saying mean stuff about me... and it's worked. I pretty much don't talk to most of my family because of this.
Oh and they all think I'm best friends with Mom.

Well, it's my nephews one year old birthday party on Easter and she is putting a party together, but since everyone doesn't get along, she wants to do a seperate get together with my mom and I. I think I should be invited to the party with everyone else (I get along with her husbands family and her friends, etc.)... after all I don't have a problem with anyone! I would never start anything with the 35 year old sister, because I'm not like that and I'm over it, she is what she is and I've accepted that! But she would definately start something. I think the others who are 35 and in their 50's should just grow up and learn to be in the same room for the sake of the child! This separate parties thing is crap. I know I tried it for the longest time. I finally just told everyone that I was having one party and they could come or not come! But I would not put another party together for anyone! Some came, some didn't, the ones who care about my kids worked out their differences and now the family gets along great when they are together without the trouble makers.

I'm tired of being treated like an outcast in the family for no reason. If they want to treat me that way, I will go my own way, my life is happier when they leave me alone, because the drama is too hard to deal with. I'm tired of being used, tired of being accused of things that didn't happen. And I especially tired of them catering to my 35 year old sister who has some obvious problems! Oh and to top it off, my 20 year old sister likes to complain about how unreasonable she is and she doesn't want to get her mad! What the heck! I hate DRAMA!

Laurie
