We have had so many issues with my partners siblings and one of their partners . Talking hasn’t helped , we have tried everything but we still are left to the side and ignored by them all . Even our kids are which hurts the most .
I’m pregnant and we will soon announce this but don’t even feel like telling them at all . Why would they even care .
We have started to just try and live our lives ahd not worry about them or people who dont care about us but it’s hard , it’s hard seeing them all interact and leaving us out , it’s hard and uncomfortable at family gatherings .
Anyone else experience something like this and what do we do how do we handle these situations and how we are made to feel ?

Yes and its devastating. Feelings aren't acknowledged and no-one even cares to see your point , pretty much like you've made it up.
Stop beating a dead horse is my motto, wasting your time. If your on the outside then it probably won't change. Spend your time with others who don't make you feel like this.
I don't even bother. And I've stopped caring. I feel tolerated more than family even as a new addition. My children fit in well but I feel like I barely exist and am spoken for when it comes to things my partner decided for me which makes it hard as no one even asks what I want to do .
A big thing here is there a reason?
We and most of our family have excluded a family members partner due to many instances of violence towards his partner and other family members.
This is well known and no matter what he does he won't be involved with our lives.
We do try to include her and the kids but its getting hard as the kids now ask questions.
Have a think back to when it started happening it may have started over something small and has been escalated due to bad communication.
In the end alot of the time you either have to cut your losses and just move on or grin and bare it.
Best of luck
