The story

I'm not super close with my family but like they aren't bad people. I have no idea if I'm overreacting but it feels like I'm just a stranger hanging out in their house. It's really obvious that they like my brother more which really hurts because I try so much to be the perfect kid and I just can't do it. Once my dad was trying to have a sweet moment with me and he said "I love you (brothers name)". Honestly it really shook me up to realize that they don't even think about me. I have no idea if I'm over reacting but like it feels like they just kinda put up with me.

It really can be rough but hopefully it gets better for both of us

I’m so sorry! In my family my dad doesn’t really care what my siblings think, only me. Maybe it’s because I’m the oldest but I’ve been trying to make him like my younger siblings better. People say that it gets better eventually! 😊
