[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother is the golden child- although he never comes around my parents- ever- yet despite 20 years of never coming around he is golden.
    We both live out of state. 
So my parents are visiting at Xmas and looking to move here by my family… they are starting to need care.
    Yet tonite in looking at my moms phone, I’m shocked to see her and my brother ripping on me- and she asks my brother for advice on everything- even asking him to weigh in on things I’ve said - like advice for them on their home etc. asking to weigh in on  what I said.
    I’m so hurt - but also feel like screw them- honestly if they feel like my brother is the all knowing person, they really should love my him. 
    Don’t I have the right to feel like it’s probably better they move near him??[/quote]

Some questions that will help you get better advice/insight?

1. Define "ripping on you"?
2.  Have you ever texted someone for advice on how to handle an interaction with a family member?  If so, reflect on whether/how this is different?
3.  Can you control where they move?  Or rather can you control how you choose to engage with your mom?
4.  Why were you looking at her texts?  If it was without her knowledge/consent, have you ever sent a text that you would not like the subject to see?  How is this different?[/quote]
