Today, my mother not only told me that my ex-husband will be spending Thanksgiving with her and my dad, but that I'm also no longer invited to spend the holiday with my family. FML

That sucks, OP. Why won't you take revenge and go on a family holiday with your ex mother-in-law?

31 I see these FMLs ALL the time. My guess is she cheated on him and left him with the kids, or cleared out his bank account, etc.... Something along those lines. Family isn't going to disown you and pick up the ex because you forgot to bring a dish to a party or something.

Just because you're family doesn't mean you have to be with them. Especially if they treat you this way. I haven't talked to my dad in four years.. My grandparents on his side said they didn't love me lol.. Their loss.

If your family has taken your ex husband's side, then you must have done something, OP... sorry, but I think YDI

Sorry this happen to you. You'll be the one they run to when they "need/want" anything, not your ex!

You know you deserve it cause there's more to the story on why they accept him and not you

Go spend it with some friends and be sure to take lots of happy photos to post on Facebook and don't call them let them call you.

we have a similar situation in my family: my mom's first marriage was to her childhood sweetheart, they grew up together, the families were really close, and after they divorced (it was a really bad divorce, he hit her, they'd both had affairs, ect) my mom's family took pity on him, and my mom wasn't invited to family gatherings afterwards. Maybe it was something like that?

That is the most hurtful and disrespectful thing that your family could ever do to you. Personally, I wouldn't understand their reasoning to invite an ex of mine to Thanksgiving but the moment they uninvite me for my ex's sake or whatever excuse they try to come up with instead of their own flesh and blood is where I draw the line and cut ties with my "family". That may sound harsh and possibly may cause this comment to get down voted but honestly that is some serious BS and pretty much tells me that my family would rather have my ex apart of their lives instead of having me be apart of theirs. I can understand inviting the ex husband over for the kids if you have any especially but that still does not mean you should not be invited either unless it's a pretty damn good reason to not invite you (like you being abusive to your family for example). I'm sorry your family is a bunch of jerks OP. :(

Ummm you said it yourself that op might have done some bad shit - and no, just because theyre family doesnt mean they have to feel like shit because of her - so why call them jerks? Everyone has their limits, doesnt matter if its family or not
