[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand why OP is so hurt and angry. She and her parents loved and supported her husband while his parents neglected him but supported his siblings. That is awful.  Even if it was a matter of timing, they should have spoken to you both about any change of events ("now we have money for everyone's tuition")

You didn't say it beyond "immigrant" but it reaks of discrimination and bigotry towards you, your class, your immigration status (which is legal).

I'm sorry.  I think you all need to talk about it as a group, with the adult siblings.  You have been mistreated and take advantage of for years. The siblings may have no idea the extent.  It may be best for you for them to know. You're not asking for anything beyond them listening and trying to understand what you are working through.  Work through it and then enjoy your big family.

Other healthy option is to work through it yourself solo and get over it. It sucks but no one is going to give you anything for bringing this up over and over again.  it is OK and therapeutic to bring it up once but then move on. [/quote]

I wish to hell I knew how to start this particular conversation. This family is not into airing out their feelings. But I will talk to DH and see if we could figure something out.[/quote]
