My family doesn't invite me to things because I am too poor to afford trips

yeah with my family they all like going out to eat all the time, i keep telling them i dont have the money to keep going out to eat. often my parents will tell me they will pay for me and my wife.. but yeah i feel you

It is sad that you cannot get the money to go. I would just make sure that my family knew that. I would not expect someone to pay my way but definitely would go, if they found a way to get me there once in a while. Things are tight everywhere.

I'm sorry to hear that friend. My parents generally offer to pay for me to visit them if we need to travel via taxi or visit family who live further away if I cannot afford it. Usually we share the cost, which makes it easier on the both of us. You must miss your family, it's really a shame that you all couldn't get together without having a huge cost to pay.

It seems like you are in a terrible situation. I do understand about what you feel. Well, don't take it too hard. Is it possible for you to contact your family with telephone or e-mail? Suppose you cannot effort to go there, then calling or sending e-mail is enough, I think. Whatever it is, I believe you can survive and be better someday. Good luck!

Sad to hear this. Well, did you ever tell your family about this? Perhaps they will help? I've got a feeling that they are shunning away from you.

Hello Litllefranciscan! I'm sorry to hear that in arround the world there are fammillies that behave like that. Indeed, being a special ocossion you would think that they will raise money to bring you close to them, but maybe, they can't aford also..

Hi francis,Is this your close family you are talking about? I mean your parents and siblings? If so, it is really not a very nice thing to do. They can help you out financially and see that you get to spend some happy moments with them.Why dont you talk it over with your parents? at least they should be able to understand...all the best and happy mylotting

Families should not deny each other the fun of participation in activities. You should decide for yourself if you are able to do something. they should not be making the decision and the choice for you.

Good morning dear friend Littlefranciscan , i am soo teribile sorry to read that your own familly ttreats you in this way , i mean i know how harsh sometimes familly cann be with one another , like one time while i was still living in Roumania , my mother was already left the country and left me alone with my siter and she tooke the grandmother with her , so me and my sister found both a job and we tooked care of the house bills , but soon after six months only my sister had gone also after ly mother and she lived with her in Belgium , so i was left alone for two years , and in the first year my aunt mooved in with me , so she cann take care of bills , but the money to pay the bills camed from me and my mother only , and she had mooved in with her son , ( because i used to have a house with two floors in Roumania , just like i have here now in Belgium ) , so they both had their own room , and they were making expenses and i had a low salary , aniway , what i have one day find out , it was the my dear Aunt had stolen every time from my mother send for me and for paying the bills , and the way i found out was by mistake , because once i wanted to buy myself a new set of clothes and shoes and so i decided to call my mother and ask her if she is willing to sent me some monney or to buy her some clothes and shoes from a store in Belgium and have it sent out by mail in Roumania beccause i had almost all the old clothes were iether a little bi ritten apart or had holes in it ,either i grow them out , and my mother replied what have i been doing with all the money she sent out for me ? And i said that i had not saw a single penny from the money she sent , and my aunt havent neither buyed or give me some money to go and buy myself some clothes and i neither asked . And she said that she has sent every moth six hundred euros ( she has a 1400 € ssalary ) and that one hundred and fifty euros are for me and the rest are for payin one credit rate she has at the bank and for paying the house bills. Then she fought that my aunt had putt the monney for me aside , and i told her that i dont think so , because i had asked her just before i called her , is she has some money left from the money my mother sent and she said that she has no more money , that she barely had some little sum of money left enough to buy food for a single week , and the pas week was the birthday of my cousin , and he's mother gaved me as a gift a 25 grams gold bracelet , a verry nice and expensive one !!! Well thats how familly is for me , they are a bounch of profitors , telling a bunch of lies , for their own sake and to be able to lean on you and suck you dry. Florin , Over and Out

I can understand your embarrassment in this situation. Financial incapable limite us in many things. Please try to explain to your relatives about your situation, and at the same time, don't feel bad about yourself just by others's coldness towards you. I hope you could earn enough to pay the bills later on, if not, then just try to make full use of what u have currently. from waazula.com

I know its very painful because it is your family that is treating you this way. All you can do is just be with people who'll understand, support, and accept what your situation is. And for money matters, I read that money is just a product of the imagination, meaning that if you have ideas, that would make you money, sorry but I'm no financial expert so i really don't have any suggestions but if you just keep on looking, you might find it one day.

maybe you must find another way to communicate with your family, emailing, phone maybe ? you are not able to participate you do not need to force your self. Try to make your family understand with your financial p[problem, if they can't, you can do nothing..
