I'm going through the same thing, I'm not married but I am 21 years old I am working with my father and it seems like my parents stick up for my two brothers no matter what happens. I deal with shit all day long with my brother. Whenever I walk in the room he makes it a point to say something to hurt me. It literally comes from nowhere. I don't know if you are undergoing treatment or not but that can make it a lot harder to deal with because I am sitting in my house all day with no job he just GRADUATED college and so he is here all the time now and I don't have any friends here right now so he is the only one I have to deal with. I can't stand it. The only thing I could possibly think to say is don't let them bother you, ignore it completely and they will stop. If they think it is bothering you then they'll continue that is just how people are!!!

yeah i know tell me about it I've been going through this for a long time and it sucks badly my brother is the same exact way too.and now my sister is about to have her baby and my mom is like already putting my unborn nephew first. I am trying my best to deal with all these things for now.

my family broke up when I was 4 and my dad has always been around i was always a momma giirl tho. and now that my mom has a new boyfriend she never talks to me. so i would rather her talk to me than barley ever call me.

I understand, I am the 3rd child and the only girl, and all I get is how I will get attacked and murdered and raped at age 0-infinity according to my parents (esp now that I am 20 going on 21). In my house you usually ask for permission, and I feel like I am constantly competing for attention (not like a child but like to have my opinion listened to, or speak up or anything) and I feel so controlled though I know my parents only want the best for me.

All I do is want to cry, and I do too. I appreciate all their help, all the love and care, but its smothering for somethings, and it feels like I will always be living under a thumb at times. Meanwhile my one friend is practically doing college all on her own b/c her family is split -and she takes little shit from anyone and goes headstrong despite the odds against her. Try to hold out, be strong, and just let it roll off of you, thought its hard not to take things to heart. I wish you the best of luck!

What do you do when you have all siblings so dysfunctional, and they love everytime you get them out of a jam like having no money for food ,or clothes for thier kids to wear to school, never any xmas money for the children, my oldest brother is a drug addict and I helped him pay his rent and bought his meds while in the hospital a few yrs. ago ,never offered to re-pay me but talks about me like a dog to other family members, no I dont have a relationship with him, my sister has been so abused by her husband and hes always in jail and steals her money and I have been there as a support person for emotionally ,she at times never has enough money to buy food, she gets disability, and works part-time to barley make it the husband is a drig addict and alcoholic ,he leaves her high and dry all the time just moved in with another woman and then keeps coming back to my sister, finally I have had to let this one go in another direction too, I miss my family , but I am just retiring after 35 yrs of working and Im buying a new home and have money in my savings, I have always helped my family out and not once has any one been there to help me out when Ive needed it, to there standards they think Im rich, I do not like being in there drama all the time, do you just say good bye, it hurts me to know after all Ive done thet bash me to each other like I think Im better than they are because my lifestyle is different and I dont prefer to live like jerry springer folks,
