[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your mom sounds stressed and an overburdened caregiver doesn't have the time to deal with you pouring about being able to stay there for a visit.  She figures you're mature and have it together. Your step brother, otoh, is far from that and she's dealing with that.[/quote]

He's older than me and has a well paid job, etc. I think he is favored. To be honest, I feel badly about myself and I do think I'm not wanted around by her. When I do go to the house, I have tried to be helpful with the kids, but since they don't even know me, there isn't a whole lot I can do. (I haven't been around them because stepbrother and his wife refused to see the family for years). When I go back to the hotel alone at night it just gives me a lot of time alone to think which isn't always good for me. I feel like I'm not wanted there or loved and I feel treated differently. I truly don't want that to come across sounding like I'm "whining" as some others have told me, but deep down I do feel that the hotel thing is because she dosen't want me there. Saying that she's trying to do me a favor and relieve stress that I would feel otherwise feels like a front, which is almost worse than just saying the truth.[/quote]
