How shitty is that? Pretty shitty. I'm tellin' ya, people are self-absorbed. That's why the world is in the shape it's in. Too many people worrying about their own needs to think about anyone else's. Makes me want to be a hermit.

You husband should go see his dad because he'll never forgive himself if he doesn't. His brother sounds like his weight is just the tip of the iceberg with his problems and perhaps severing ties WOULD be the best (not easy, but why submit yourself to the malice?) As for your family & the birthday ... toxic people and you don't need them! It's their loss on not being a part of your baby's life as painful as that is for you :(

*Hugs* I'm sorry. If it helps any at all, my grandmother called me yesterday (my birthday) at 9pm to tell me that my aunt had reminded her it was my bday (keep in mind that I'm her ONLY grandchild and that my son is her first and ONLY great-grandchild) and that she'd thought it was the 22nd.. then hands the phone to her new husband who distractedly says, "Oh, how's Matthew (my son)?" to which I reply that he had a viral infection in his throat and was really sick all week, and he goes, "Oh, that's nice, let me hand you back to your grandmotehr." I know that's no consolation at all, but at the very least, yours isn't the only family that has its priorities off right now. *hugs* People really do suck sometimes, and somtimes you really are just better off without them. As long as you and your little girl enjoyed her special day, that's what really matters.

You can only offer him love and if he doesnt accept it that is his choice. I would say stick to be you and always have the door open, love always wins out. Well usually. If not you did the best you could and you know you were right. Your brother in law needs help and also needs to help himself. Maybe the best thing to do is to forgive for being such a disgusting human being. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

*hugs* for a belated happy birthday for the little one, and a hug for each of you with hope that you find more positivity in your world and focus on it... I have no biological family and no ties to adopted families of my childhood and as much as I feel left out of the world because of that, I sometimes feel it is a blessing... I choose my family and do my best to choose people who want my love, who respect me, and who deserve whatever time and energy I have to share... biology may be an obligation I do not experience, so I can not give any advice on how to deal with siblings or bio-family... but take care of yourself first and care about others as honestly as you can and above all else, have faith that you care and do not let other's reactions bring you down... you care, that is a beautiful thing, feel good about that...

Clicked on your lovely banner and found this sadness. I'm so sorry to read about your husband's father and his self-centered brother. My parents have forgotten my sons' birthdays on a number of occasions and it never fails to hurt. I know I'm a stranger, but my best thoughts are with you and your family.

Congrats on your daughter turning two. Sorry to hear about your mother. Somtimes family is more of a burden than anything else. They can make you feel SO low and with so very little, make you feel SO wonderful. Strange.
