I Have Been Hurt Or Betrayed By My Family

This was not long before I turned 9 years old. The Christmas that had just been we had a big joint family present which was a holiday or vacation if your American to a resort in Spain. The 7 months leading up we were told and reminded of all the stuff we would be doing and shown pictures of it all. We took the 3 hour journey to the airport and cause we had a early flight we stayed at a hotel. How ever when booking the holiday they miscounted the children鈥檚 tickets and was one short. So instead of canceling the holiday and rebooking it my aunts uncles and my parents decided since it would be unfair for one of the boys to miss out it was better for me to be left behind since I was the only girl. While I slept one of them packed me into the car and ditched me at my nanas house. They didn鈥檛 wake me to explain to me why I wasnt going they left my Nan to deal with me when I realised what happened. During the 2 weeks away they FaceTimed me to explain but it was excesses.


And when I was 11 it happened again it was a afternoon flight and my passport was missing. And again Instead of canceling it my Nan was phoned and begged to have me and I was picked up from the airport and they expected me to understand it wasn鈥檛 their fault. But one the 3rd day of their holiday they found my passport in a suitcase. They tried joking about it while face timing and I remember feeling nothing but anger at them.

The betrayed my trust twice. And they still have not tried to make it up to me

That鈥檚 really really horrible big hugs 馃 reminds me of the time I couldn鈥檛 go to Legoland as there was no room for me in the car yet my little sister told me they hired a 8 seater and there was only four of them going. The other time was when mum was married to her husband and they went on holiday with my sister and my brother when he was alive and I had to stay at my dads house as I wasn鈥檛 allowed to go. The other time they went to Alton towers I couldn鈥檛 go so yeah I鈥檝e been there and I understand how it feels to be left out of things. My mum now has a girlfriend but they don鈥檛 do much with my sisters now apart from taking them to classes and eating out. I feel left out still though when my dads girlfriend pushes me out of things to get back at me for going somewhere with my dad.

That's pretty shitty behaviour on the part and you have a right to be royally pissed.. Hopefully you can put it behind to and move on with your life, rather than living under its shadow..

@Louiseknightly one of the hardest lessons in life is putting things behind you... Doesn't mean you forgive or forget... It just means forward motion rather than getting stuck behind bad memories ...

Reminds me of the story my husband went through..
He had a POS step farther.
My hub was sent to camp around age 13. While he was gone the family moved. The POS never notified the camp of the move.
My poor husband at 13 was dropped off at the old address and spent the night outside. It was a neighbr whom informed him where his family went..

( This was around 1962 no technology like today)

WOW! That is messed up. Now I have been forgotten before and that sucked. In your case I'd have be half tempted to say that you were just going to live with Nana from now on. And they fact they laughed and joked about it just makes it hurt worse. At least some sign of feeling guilty on their part would have been at least a little better.

I鈥檓 not surprised you were mad, it鈥檚 really unacceptable especially from your family. If it was me if they wanted anything in the future I would certainly think twice about offering help. I do wish you luck and hope everything goes well for you in the future 馃
