[quote=Anonymous]There is nothing wrong with you.

Your mother is a failed mother. No matter how much other people like her, she is a failure as a mother. Any mother whose child feels unloved and excluded—and has been demonstrably excluded—is a bad mother. Full stop. So no matter how the rest of the world sees her as wonderful or a success, she is not: she is a failure as a mother, her most important role in life.

Your brother is less to blame, because he learned from her as a child that cozying up to her and excluding you had its rewards. He should have snapped out of that by adulthood, but still. It’s a pity he’s not a better brother or human being, but there you have it.

Don’t bother with them anymore. And ESPECIALLY don’t start taking care of her as she ages. She made her bed, and she only wanted your brother around. So don’t you pick up any slack. She wanted your brother, not you? Fine, that’s the way it will be.

Don’t call or invite them to anything. You can treat any invitations or call they might initiate on a case-by-case basis. Good luck, OP.[/quote]
