Am I broken?

I feel like I can't feel empathy for my brother whenever he's sick because I just always feel like it's so unfair that he gets treated so well and I didn't. When I young no one ever really bothered to bring me to a doctor for anything so everything I had would just go undiagnosed. I sprained my ankle,my wrist and it's all just speculation because my parents couldn't be bothered enough to actually go get it treated. And now when I'm sick I play it down because I feel like it's expected of me. But whenever my brother is sick he's got all the attention. He's always been sick,he was born sick and has always gotten the extra attention that I was missing. It's really not his fault and I still love him but it just feels like I can't really feel the empathy I should for him. It just feels so unfair that when he's sick he gets attention and love and care and I'm expected to just suck it up and continue on,just because that's the way it's always been...

Honestly your feelings are valid and your parents should treat you both equally with love and care you don’t deserve to get ignored by your parents especially when you’re sick but let me tell you something your brother has nothing to do with it everytime you get angry at this remember that your brother is innocent it’s your Parents fault and by the way have you ever tried to talk to your parents about this ? Maybe they’re doing this because they’re too busy dealing with ur sick brother? But either way they don’t have the right to ignore you like this I know how it feels because I’m not the favourite child and I got treated so unfairly by my mother too ! And I know that I’m just a stranger but if you needed to vent anytime I’m here ! Hope that they realise that what they’re doing is wrong
