"I haven't responded yet. Now I just got a text from W's sister telling me her and her daughter would like to invite me to her daugthers birthday. Her daugher is 5. I doubt she had much of a request in for this.
I still haven't responded to either text. I know this is nothing more than I have the girls Tuesday night and Christmas day which is when my W's family wants them. If this had anything to do with me, I would think I would actually be invited now and then to something that wasn't on the night when I had the girls for something they are wanting the girls for."
Geez are you really that thick? For someone who has a priest for a friend, was an alcoholic and considers himself a stander, you're pretty judgemental. You jump to conclusions and consider all others beneath you. And before you disagree, look at what you just posted. About how manipulative her family is, how disgusting your W's actions are (from previous posts).
Let's face it. They have a reason not to invite you to anything. You were an alcoholic...a user who didn't care about anyone else's feelings but your own. And you're still like that.
Did you ever think that for once, maybe they invited you to be nice? Not everyone has an agenda. You even questioned why I and others posted to you as if we had other motives.
When you were firmly "standing" for your M, you said that even if your Ds were going out with an alcoholic or abuser, that they should stay M and that you would forgive their Hs and see that they got help. Well I don't see that happening. For someone with a priest as a friend and considers himself a godly man for standing, you sure have a problem with forgiveness. It's that same condescending attitude that you are showing towards your W. You'd have to be pretty blind not to see that.
It's really simple. Do you want to go or not? If you don't than don't. Don't blame others for your feeling awkward. You're being petty and showing your Ds that as well. No one's "manipulating" you.
