[quote=Anonymous][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]

You're right, in your little made-up story, your mother does not want you there. That much is crystal clear.

So what are you doing to do about it, now that we've posted the link to you old post?
