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.

OP might be a scumbag and the reason her ex-husband left in the first place.

Something tells me OP's omitting a critical part of the story.

I feel like we aren't getting the whole story...

Maybe the parents wanted to make OP jealous so that she would show up, and they want to get her and her ex back together? Just a theory, im probably wrong xD if that is the case, its definitely not the best way to go about reconciling.... Lol

Some context there is definitely necessary, but probably not going to be provided.

parents just don't do that. there has to be another part to this story that OP isn't telling us about.

Even still, there is absolutely nothing I can think off which warrants something like this...

My ex's parents love me. I still go and visit them on the holidays. They have actually disowned her when they found out that neither of her two kids belong to her current husband, and she has no idea who the dad of either of them are. Her parents are extremely religious and take stuff like that very seriously. In essence, my ex is a *****, I'm a nice guy, my ex's parents like me more than her.

Guys, we are only getting the side of the story from the op. Maybe the other side is that her ex is a very nice man who has kids with her and she is hurting her family so they have said she can't spend the holidays with them until she is non-abusive, but instead of telling the full truth and letting us decide they are just saying very loosely what happened so that it's just a pity-party.

Either your ex got along way too well with your folks, or you weren't getting along well enough with your family. Not enough information here to determine a verdict.
