You think science is going to unite people in this day and age?

I don't know.

It does make me wonder if there's more going on here just in terms of like their personalities and the things that they care about and get upset about.

But safe to say, she and her family are on different pages, for sure.

She goes on.

This shocked and hurt me deeply, especially because everyone had already accepted our invitation to Christmas at our house.

They claimed Thanksgiving was all ad hoc and there was quote unquote no plan, which was not true.

I expressed my hurt and things deteriorated from there, mainly with my stepmother.

Just to clarify, I never cussed anyone out, stole money, killed anyone, etc.

Not yet.

I just got mad because we were excluded from a major family event after already feeling excluded or insignificant on several occasions.

Good on you for speaking up, I guess.

I don't know, actually.

I think sometimes when you're really hurt, those tiny innocuous things that the person didn't intend can actually sting.

Yeah, you can hurt quite a bit, but maybe she didn't mean it.

Maybe she was an offhand.

I don't know.

It's hard to know sometimes.

But anyway, she goes on.

Since then, I've apologized many, many times for getting upset and agreed to multiple family counseling sessions and meetings.
