[QUOTE="totoro, post: 112452, member: 3155"] Does anyone truly understand but those of us who have "chosen" to have these children? (I guess some would argue that we all have a choice!?) husband were just discussing this the other night he was feeling like a bitter Betty when he overheard some "friends" of his discussing a New Years Eve part that we of course had not been invited to. Over the years we have slowly stopped being invited to any parties... He made a comment to his friend, He said "Oh is the the Cool people party?" the friend said oh don't be that way, husband said "What"... He called his friend on it, this is a friend that he works out with, twice a week, and we just gave him and his wife a full dinning table set to... He said oh you guy's are invited,husband said well how would we have known???? The fact of the matter is He forgot about us and was to much of a wimp to admit it, people forget us because we can never go to things because of the girls... That was all he had to say, that was all husband wanted to hear. "I didn't think to invite you Sorry" The truth... So we do feel isolated... we have no family, I hear stories about my brother all the time but I have not heard from him in over 2 years, I heard from an aquaintance that he had dinner at his restaraunt the other night and he had a black eye!?! That doesn't even get into husband family and the pressure of spending any holiday with them... I don't think that will be happening for awhile. Sometimes I think the fact that I grew up with next to no traditions was good, it helps me feel no loss for the girls and helps me handle the stress of preparing my mind for things like the idea of maybe having to not have Christmas next year... But over all as people we do feel isolated on many days... as a family. We hope maybe with our impending move we may actually meet some people who can accept us flaws and all... I wish none of us ever had to feel isolated... Linda Or our children. [/QUOTE]
