Family help: My Mom is favoring my brother compleley and totally. - Help.com

Hello,

I think I could help you with this problem. My parents are divorced. They divorced a year ago and many of children are hurt by it but I have learned some good lessons from our situation.

My mothers parents favored me and they did not “like” the other grandchildren (they told me that they pick who they like) , then when my parents got divorced. I decided to be on my dad’s side, since we all chose sides. This made my moms parents furious. They immediatley acted kindly to me and took up another favorite grandchild. I learned that love must be shared equally. I also felt the cold from my moms side of the family but that was okay.

I learned to love and be thankful for what I did have, since it could be a lot worse. My parents are still divorced and my mom does not love me like she once did. She has become ver y cold to me. I think that it is okay though.

You should try to stay around your dad if you can. I know that it could help but do not let the current situation get you down. There are so many great things out there for you. Well, I really hope I helped you.

your right! your in the same situation! my sister has a million and one friends and i couldn’t count five (outside of help) now my dad is obseesed with gold and he makes you spend time with him, thats his way of trying to make me feel part of the family. try and get them all together, just dont confront them completely, they’ll deny it. if you got a tape maybe….

good luck!

Look my mom did this to me as a child then I got older and relized that she loved me but also she didnt want nothing to do with me so i asked her why and she toldl me that she aasnt doing that and now we have some what of one but not that good because i pushed her away because she did it to me as a child so you need to talk to her and tell her that you feel this way and that you would like to do some of the stuff that she does with your brother and tell her maybe lets havea girls night out once a week and have a family night together too

I have the same trouble but she is my step mom thats prolly why but just don’t worry about it she come aound unless she is ur step mom then she never come aound if she is ur step mom is the another son her kid like meaning did he coem from her????
