It hurts when your parents prefer your other siblings it feels like they have abandon you

I understand completely. I am my parent's only biological child, and they adopted another son. He has always been and still is their "golden child". My mom had severe complications when pregnant with me and could not have any other children (she wanted a larger family), so he was the child she could never have. I don't doubt they love me, but he was always their favorite and I sort of got pushed to the side. He turned out to be an asshole and we don't have a good relationship, I'm just cordial to him because of them (my wife can't stand him). He's not a blood relative, and I don't even refer to him often as my brother. It's sad but true.

The youngest is always struggling to catch up. They are the one that needs the most help. You older kids are big enough to take care of yourselves

it does hurts but me being the eldest takes it in a positive manner as I want my siblings to be pampered by my parents. it some how soothes me

Chin up. This is not the problem with you. It's a universal issue.

It can feel that way even when you are the only child.
It ALL falls on YOU> ALL THE CRAP.

RELAX. IT'S NOT YOU . THEY ARE SCHMUCKS.

Get out of the house.
Get some friends
and take up some hobbies.
What is your passion, what do you love, what makes your heart and soul happy?
If you need to, see a therapist, talk to someone.

Don't ever think that you are lacking something.

My parents prefer my sister, but it's no reflection on me. I actually think I'm a better person than my sister

I have always been the blacksheep of my family and dad and I never got on .I never see my brother and his family .I see my sister once a year and my mum maybe twice a year so quite used to it so doesn't bother me .

They say you can choose your friends but not your family so true and such a pity as I definitely feel I was born into the wrong family .

Tell them. I used to tell my mother she favoured my older brother which she denied.

i dont have parents, no parents problems :)

If so, you share it with most of humanity.

I grew up feeling like that too, it really does hurt. Though I don't talk to him anymore.

Yeah, my younger brother and sister always get their way.
