[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother straight up said several years ago that she will leave her estate to my brothers and not me because I don't need it and they do. That's fine, she's correct that I'm self sufficient and I don't need anything from her, but the cold delivery sent a message received. I let my brothers take care of her now, visit on occasion and try to be generous to them for their generosity to her.

Over the years I tried to have an adult relationship with her, but at every turn there is a dig. On Christmas this time the dig was directed at my beautiful, very capable daughter. I really don't want my daughter around this. What is it with mothers resenting their daughters doing well in life?[/quote]

I have a similar situation and even moved nearby because she said she wanted me to take care of her. Instead the male gets all the attention and enabling and I get all the digs and am left wondering why I moved here if she just preferred male attention instead. I figure i can play caring and do some stuff and let the homebody male take care of the day to day while he's given a roof and 3 meals a day. I guess it's less of a headache for me and gives them both companionship. Will never get the love I deserve but there is a silver lining[/quote]
