my birthday is this tuesday - and i am so used to it just being another day that i really dont expect anything or to hear from anyone
yesterday my dad called me to ask if i had plans ( he was asking just to ask he was not asking to make plans with me :( ) when i told him no he said that my sister had called him and wanted him to ask me if she could take me out or something ( this sister has totally betrayed me she slept with my husband and then has called me all kinds of inappropriate names etc )
i told my father i want nothing to do with her and that it upsets me that she would go through him instead of just calling me herself .. i want nothing to do with the ***** ever again as long as i live
now it bothers me even more that my birthday really does not mean anything
do you think that i reacted normal to my fathers phone call? do you think it is stupid of me to whine about the fact that i dont get to hear " happy birthday " from my family ?

don't feel that bad...nothing much usually happens on my bday either...but you were right to react the way you did...if it were my sister, she would be lucky to be still breathing after what she did.
good luck and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!....and cheer up would ya?

You sure do have a dysfunctional family. I don't blame you at all for refusing your sister's offer and I don't understand why your father would even suggest it if he knows the whole story. Do something special for yourself. I hope you have a nice group of friends. Friends can mean more than nasty family members. Go on with your life and don't let them get to you. That's what they want.

Happy Birthday. I have a question...do you acknowledge any of your family member's birthdays, or send any of them cards? If not, maybe you might want to start doing that. Life is about give and take.

Being frustrated, angry, and upset are all normal and appropriate feelings for what your sister did to you and for being totally neglected by your family. However, feeling sorry for yourself is just punishing yourself more for something that is not your fault. why don't you buy MORE chocolate, do something NICE for yourself and have a GOOD birthday despite what they say or don't say. YOU DESERVE IT!

Your birthday does mean something to someone. Don't worry.

Soounds to me as if you really enjoy wallowing in self pity, so stay there and wallow I'm not going to feel sorry for you.
