[quote=Anonymous]OP, your situation is almost exactly like mine, except I have two brothers and our dad doesn't live in the midwest. It never got any better. And it still hurts me so much. I have concluded that my dad's wife's kids and their children really have replaced my brothers and me. Her family is his, and his previous family (which he had with his deceased first wife, our mother) is a kind of distant extended family to him now, just people he sometimes talks to on the phone and doesn't really care about seeing. Accepting this made it slightly easier, and I was only able to do that after some years of therapy. I've stopped reaching out to my dad, and that stops me from feeling so hurt.[/quote]
