Having a moment. One of those where you want to take several Ambien and forget.
My DIL (stepson's wife) gave birth this evening. Her third. I was present for the other two. Didn't hear about it from any of them, just from D's who saw it on FB. D25 called to tell me because " you know they wouldn't take the time" She resents the fact that they don't treat me the same, and by that I mean include me like before. I understand that is a bit difficult, especially with Xh's wifey pushing herself into every family function. D25 resents not being asked to BD parties, baby showers, etc. Feels they should be taking a stand for me. I know better. Blood IS thicker, and it's a prickly situation. I just hurt for her hurting. It is true that my girls try to include their step-nieces and step-nephews, and it doesn't seem to be reciprocated. Rock and a hard place, for sure. SIGH
