It's pretty clear that her family has a well-established pattern of leaving her out of things. I wonder if she's ever called them out?

Even if she would have been “too busy” to attend, that's not for them to assume or decide. They could've extended the invitation anyway. The truth is that they didn't want her there.

Years of exclusion drive 34-year-old woman to go No Contact with her family after they purposefully leave her out of sister's birth: "They were enjoying that beautiful moment without me"
Moms of the internet, who was present with you in the hospital right after you gave birth? Many couples prefer having privacy in the hours, days, and weeks following the birth of their child. Some invite their parents or close relatives on delivery day. It's even common to see a whole crowd of family and friends awaiting the birth of a baby outside of the delivery room. It may seem pretty scary to have to "entertain" guests right after labor, but some women are comforted by being surrounded by people that they love.
In our story today, a soon-to-be mother insists that she only wants her husband and parents present for the birth of her baby. Our protagonist, her older sister, understands this completely, but when delivery day rolls around, is disappointed to find out that the rest of the family was indeed invited – everyone except for her. This is just the straw that broke the camel's back in a history of being excluded from family events. Scroll down to get the full story.
