Am I crazy

My sister invited my other sister and brother to dinner... no mention of me going. I'm not the kind of person that assumes I'm going or invites myself(I've been left out a lot and left behind) now they're going out and mad at me cause my kids and I weren't ready to go and quite muddy from playing outside. I had no idea I was even supposed to go... so my parents start screaming at me that I should've just known I was supposed to go and I'm being rude because I said I'm not going I wasn't invited...

My family does this all the time as well and then tells me it's an open invitation. To me it feels like if they made plans and didn't include me then it's just for them. Just because I found out somehow doesn't make me feel invited. Also, what if you had plans already? I don't think you're crazy. I think they just need to openly communicate with you.

You're not crazy. I don't assume I'm invited to things either. My sisters do this to me as well.

You are not crazy. They are gaslighting you instead of owning up to their mistake. If they meant for you to go this entire time then they should have had a conversation with you about it beforehand.

Sometimes it's best to protect your own peace ✌️

They are treating you like a child where it's assumed you'll tag along. It's disrespectful. You're an adult and are due a proper adult invitation. They need to stop making decisions about YOUR TIME. It's not their decision to make.

This sounds like crazy making behaviour for them! Needless stress for you! Why did she give your sister and brother the courtesy of an invite if you should've just known? Doesn't make sense. I agree, perhaps they just need some help with communication. Or you could try the route of "I'm going through a lot of stress and it helps to have things very clear so let's speak simply and clearly to each other and try not to make assumptions. If you need me please call or text and I will do the same." ❤️

Oops I meant their behaviour not yours!

I'm more shocked at the fact that your parents screamed at you? Aren't you like a full adult that gave birth to other humans?

@Sue it's their go to... usually when I'm yelled at pr people raise their voice I'll buckle and just do whatever it is so they shut up 😅 we lost our home and are currently living in a camper on their property until we can afford to move and it's been rough
