[quote=Anonymous]I have been to lots of therapy.

It is a birth order thing. Either you are treated like you are still 10 and stupid or your treated like the golden child and everything is handed to you on a silver platter ( and your siblings hate you because they had the opposite experience).

Once on a family vacation, my H and I were going to take our kids out on a boat we had rented and my oldest brother would not let us go without a chaperone. After explaining I was 35 and did not need a chaperone and my H explaining to my brother we paid for the boat too, my brother gave us our $200 and would not give us the keys. Even though another long time family friend who had stopped by and told my brother he was acting crazy.

We left the next day.

That was our last family vacation.

I don't see them basically. Once our kids were older I had cousin parties so the cousins could still get to know each other. When asked why I simply told my older siblings I didn't really like them enough to have them over my house.

They changed their attitude when they needed somebody to take care of my dad when he was dying.

You can't make them treat him differently you can only change how you react, if it is toxic... Stay away.[/quote]
