OUCH! Does this hurt and bring back memories!!!

I used to always have Thanksgiving at my dad and step mom's house.
One year he called and told me he didn't want me to come. I was crushed to say the least.

On Thanksgiving day, my step mom called asking where I was. I told her dad didn't want me there. That's when I first learned he was in the beginning stages of Alzheimer's. It still hurt though. Almost as much as when he and mom forgot my 10th birthday but remembered my brother's who's is 10 days later.

It just hurts and sucks when parents do things like that and even worse when they don't understand why it hurts us.
