Family Vent

Everyone in DH's family insists they do not treat us differently based on Lily's special needs. But, I can name at least 3 things we have been excluded from in the past year. And, today, I learned we were not invited to her cousins' birthday party. Lily was the only child in the family that was not invited.
The only saving grace we have at this point is that Lily is too young to understand she is being excluded. But, I know her ignorance will not last forever. She is a smart and social girl. And, to be honest, my feelings are hurt.
What can I do?

Re: Family Vent
Other than that I have no advice, some people are just horrible.
I am so sorry that happened. It sucks, I know. I think since it is your DH's family he should talk to them. Could you ask your inlaws what is up with that?
I had my best friend exclude DD from her sons birthday party (they were born 3 weeks apart) because DD was not potty trained. They were turning 3, the horror of my daughter not being potty trained lol! We did not know when she would or if she ever would. It hurt so much and worst she made me feel embarrassed until I realized my kid is kick and its their loss.
I am vindictive though and in your case I would make sure when its your DD's turn for a party you post it all over facebook but don't invite them.
Olivia Kate is almost 4!
Diagnosed with autism this year and doing great!
I am sorry for this - DD's "father" (my XH) does not accept her and he doesn't know the half of what is going on. I hate the sting I feel when I think about how much better she deserves, but it is especially hard when I know ignorance doesn't' last forever. Right now I just make sure she knows, especially from mom (even in face to face "talks") how much she is loved by the people that care 100% of the time.
