I seems like everyday is normal until your birthday comes along, and everyone gets excited about it. People celebrate it with you, your family especially. Right?
Well I'm just seeing the favoritism in my family take up once again this year. Today I turned 24, and not one person in my family seemed to notice. No birthday wishes, nothing. Instead it just feels like every other day. While my Sister on her birthday earlier this year came over and we celebrated as if she had just turned 21 again. Despite becoming 28.
I am not ok with this. I thought I was making progress in getting my family to accept me, but instead they don't even wish me a happy birthday. Now I'm not asking for presents or anything but a few happy birthdays today would have made me feel....well wanted. More and more I just see myself becoming the eternal black sheep of the family. No one would care if I just never spoke to them again, they wouldn't even acknowledge the fact I even existed.
This isn't even the first time the favoritism has appeared. My sister was always the star child. What ever she wanted she got. Even when she started doing drugs and drinking heavily they ALWAYS took care of her. Me? I'm going to be on my own and will recieve no help, ever when I need it. I can't even ask for advice. I just get told figure it out myself.
anyways I'm sorry for ranting. it just.....hurts to know again that I'm not really wanted. That I might have just been a fluke in their lives.

Infinite worth...
...you are of infinite value, and I thank God for the day you were born. Happy Birthday!
Love, Andrea Lena
I'm sorry...
But happy birthday, for what it's worth, ok?
So many have it even worse with their families than I do... Mine ain't hardly been perfect, and if I'd come out when younger it probably woulda been a living hell... But at least in the main they've attempted to accept or at least tolerate me and haven't completely stopped even caring.

Happy birthday Kitten, sorry
Happy birthday Kitten, sorry your family haven't seen fit to do something so simple as saying it.
I hate conditional love.
I hope despite your family you have a nice day.
Big hugs

I do understand what fuels
I do understand what fuels your rant. I know the pain that does exist deep down, even when we want to say it doesn't. But know this: you have friends here at least. And like them, I wish you a happy birthday. :)

Happy birthday
I wish I was 24 again.
It is just about that time of year for me as well.
As you get older it seems that they become more and more like just a normal day even if it is a significant one (ending in a '0'). Yhis year, mine has a 6 in front of it.
What was I doing when I was 24?
in 1977, I...
Rode my '69 Bonniville from Toronto to Vancouver,Seattle and back to Toronto via The outer islands of NC
Got engaged.
Make the most of being young.
Have a great day.

Thank you for all the
Thank you for all the birthday wishes guys. made this day better, even if my family in life won't. my family here will. so thank you.
Never be afraid to push yourself to new limits. While you might not see the path, you will be amazed at what you can achieve.
Happy Birthday Kitten ^^
And Hope you have a better day tomorrow than you did today.
The sad fact of being tglib is that so called 'normal people' tend to shun us. If your family shuns you, shun them back. You do not need them. I had to do so in mine and many others had to do with theirs as well. Keep the people who do matter to you close and make new friends, ones whom accept you for who you are and care for you.
You can't choose your birth family, but you can choose the people who can become your family around you and that do matter.
