Thursday, I ended up getting sick. I had my head in the toilet bowl for 15min, then it was over. Friday am, from 7-9:45am, I had the runs. My mom still wanted to go to our haircut appointments, so I took Imodium and it stopped. I felt sick all day, but nothing happened. Saturday am, 4-5am, had the runs. I went to emerge and they gave me super gravol. I felt like a million bucks! I went to work Sunday, I was fine.

Today, I was supposed to head out of town for Christmas dinner with the family I don't really like (My aunt, uncles, cousin with four children), but I threw up at 6am. I called my mom saying I couldn't go and she came over briefly to drop something off and she was looking at me like I had the plague. I took gravol and went back to bed. I haven't thrown up since this morning, but I've had a sore stomach all day. NO ONE called me to wish me a Merry Christmas or to see how I'm feeling.

I just wonder if they are truly family, because I sure as hell don't feel like a member. Not even my mom or brother called me.

Should I be upset, or am I just over reacting? I can't help but feel a bit agitated.

I don't have the best relationship with my dad's side of the family and I've never been particularly close to them, but it used to always bother me when my birthday would pass and none of them would even call. I don't think you're overreacting, personally.

I think it's perfectly justifiable to be upset that nobody wished you well nor did they check up on you; I know I would be. I'd probably wonder if I was overreacting, too, but even if you are it doesn't change the fact that it hurt you and you're feeling that.

I'm sorry to hear that your holiday went so south D:

Thanks. I feel justified that I'm not being upset for nothing.

At least I have Subeta. It's making me feel /kind/ of happy for some strange reason?

it's somewhere you feel appreciated?

Sometimes...

My brother just called me. No one else did. I'm still ticked off

I hope you feel better soon Hmmm I only really interact with my immediate family and even then, we don't get along like the Brady Bunch I don't think you're overreacting but as for they'll probably send you well wishes with your mom. She'll probably tell you at some point. As for your immediate family, maybe they're all caught up in the celebrating? At least your brother checked on ya even though it's much later in the day. Also, if they're all at the same place, I'd assume that your brother would share any update about your well-being to anyone who asks. Since it's the holidays, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. It's time for joy. Don't let this bring you down. hugs

My aunt did end up calling, but she said "My phone died and I forgot to call you". She lies.. a lot.

Forget her then You need to treat yourself today! I'd suggest comfort food but since your stomach is still sensitive, watch a fave movie or show. Do something to make yourself happy and forget about them.

I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT! Thank you ^^

Welcome! It's what I'm doing. Just got called in to work tomorrow even though it was supposed to be my day off. So I'm lighting my candle, getting my eggnog and cookies, and reading quality fanfiction. Shoot! Merry Christmas to ME! lol

that doesnt sound fun at all ;_____;.. sorry to hear, I think its reasonable for you to feel upset, but since I don't personally know your family that well its hard to say >_< but either way it is a crappy feeling and honestly I dont think anyone should feel that way :( hope things get better from here for you though! ;A;

Family is strange. Count your value among those who care. Don't go out of your way for the rest. It's one way I stay happy. You are justified in being upset, they could've made a group call before food or after gifts to see how you were.

I'm gonna go have ramen or soup and enjoy not deal in with customers lol

Hope tomorrow finds you better off :)

Maybe they just didn't want to bother you? Maybe your mom told them not to call you because you were sick/sleeping/etc.? Or maybe they were all just super busy and couldn't take the time to call. Or they could have all thought someone else had called. If none of that's the case though, yeah, I'd be pissed.

nobody should be upset
