[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 475743"] To a large extent, that's true. It's the younger sister that she is closest to. However, since all of us were invited and she was not, it is very noticeable. They are really REALLY like family to us. AND although I'm not sure about this, I think since difficult child is adopted, she has issues about being excluded....which feels a lot like abandonment. It's very hard for her to see that it really OFTEN is her own actions that causes these difficult things that occur in her life. I think son and husband are concerned that not only will she NOT see this, but she will take it as a "slight" and do something drastic. But, I'm not sure I can concern myself with this. This is my best friend and her daughter's wedding. They have enough of a burden on their hands AND if she were to attend, let's face it, it would be STRESS for all concerned. That's why I can't even think about this...its a "no win" and I suppose I will cross that bridge if and when I have to. It's just such ashame...as I know you all understand. [/QUOTE]
