I get invited for the major holidays by my son. But there are ways to overcome your own situation. If you would like to see your family, and if they are people you enjoy being around, you should invite them over to your place. It usually works both ways. You can do a pot luck.

@lucetta12 It's the thought that counts, right? And it sort of stings that they didn't invite you this one time when you needed them. But that is exactly why you should invite them to your home. Friendship and love, even inside a family, usually starts with one person extending a hand. You already know that they have given up on you. Perhaps it's time to extend a hand.

@lucetta12 Oh my goodness. Perhaps you had better start small. I would begin by just sending a card with your news, and end with..."I think about you at the holidays, and wish I could see you again." Make sure they have your address and your phone number. If they never write back then I would just write them off.
