Feeling low and rejected

You are probably reading too much into it, maybe your daughter in law was just happy rather than gleeful, and surely there is no reason why they can’t spend the weekend with friends.

I know it can be tough when you’re so far away, but you have to make the best of it, don’t let them see you’re put out about it, that could very well have the opposite affect, and annoy them

Hello ladies
At the risk of sounding petty, I just want to express how low I am feeling due to my DIL telling me gleefully how much my GS has had such a wonderful weekend with her family friends. She had pics all over FB. I live a few hours away from on GS and don’t see him often, unlike these friends of DIL. I am worried my 2 yr GS won’t know me. My son FaceTimed me earlier; I had to call back as I was busy but when I did. My DIL text me to say there would be no FaceTime as son and GC were busy and besides, GC was tired after fabulous weekend. I felt she was being spiteful. I feel rejected and hurt. Any advice on how I can overcome these unpleasant feelings?
