I am sorry, I cannot find my original post to update.
For anyone who remembers, I posted fairly recently about being upset that my son and DiL made a huge fuss about her mums birthday, whilst essentially ignoring mine.
There was a lot of lovely support and advice, so I just wanted to update you all.
Three things have happened which have made me feel so much more in control, I have;
Booked a (solo) long weekend in a Warner hotel, upgraded to a posh room and wine with dinner for my next birthday.
Said 'no' on several occasions when I would normally have tied myself in knots trying to accommodate their needs.
Accepted that they love me, but are just not that interested in my life - I visited my friend and no interest was shown in where I had been, what I had done etc., So now, instead of telling them and feeling rebuffed by them, I just don't tell them and pity them, missing out on such fascinating news (tongue in cheek)?
It is a lot less lonely being alone.
Anyway, just a final,thank you all for the support?
