    I don't know how I should feel?
    Um well I had a bad December and I spend Christmas and my birthday (dec 31st) alone. Some of my aunts texted me a few days ago saying late happy birthday. I know I shouldn't expect anything. I just turned 19 years old and they think I turned 18 because I haven't celebrated my birthday in years.

    But my cousin told me everyone bought him gifts for Christmas. All I received were pajamas.

    I want to cry because I don't feel worth anything to my family that they don't even remember my birthday or age. It's a tough feeling right now.

    Do you keep in touch with everyone and send them birthday cards and/or gifts?

    They showed you pictures of what?

    You "had to be there"? Is there a previous problem that you didn't come to family events?

    Maybe you need to take the initiative and try to be part of the family.

    Facebooking, phoning and texting aren't the same as visiting in person. Do you make an effort to go to their homes or invite them to yours?

    That makes life a little tougher, but not impossible. How far away from them do you live? May I ask why you don't have transportation?

    Do you have brothers and sisters?

    How about if you create your own holiday celebrations with friends near you?
