My older brother came over to visit today which is good, but I always have mixed emotions about it. I thought he’d be coming on his own so that we could spend quality family time together, but he brought his friend along. I mean it’s fine, his friend is nice, but I wanted to spend some time with my brother, not watch my brother spend time with his friend at my house. He moved out when he was 17, so he’s missed a lot of my childhood which always eats me up. I mean he did it to escape our abusive step mother, but I always have the feeling of he just abandoned us and saved only himself. I don’t see him often at all, so anytime I’m around him I just want to cry. I never got to spend real quality time with him, so whenever I see him, all those years of emotions and missing him come flooding back and all I want to do is cry. I hate it, I just want to have fun with him but I feel like I can’t because all I want to do it go into the other room and cry. Has anyone else ever dealt with something similar to this? I don’t know how to stop these emotions, I just want to try and have a fun day with my brother if possible.

Well, while I wasn’t paying attention, my dad, sister, brother, and his friend left me here at the house to go hang out around the ranch. Why does no one want to be around me? They didn’t even invite me, it’s like I don’t exist in my own house. I just want to be around my family, but I guess they don’t want me to be around them.

@Mafuyu have you talked to them about this? You should tell them how you're feeling if you haven't, communication is important
@Eren2273 I want to tell him, but it’s a lot easier said than done. I want to open up, but I know I’ll just become a crying mess. Maybe one day, but not now.

@Eren2273 they know. My father is really abusive and blames me for my illnesses. After 12 years he still believes I'm just not trying hard enough
@Mafuyu relating to this so hard. My family has forced several holidays in a row to be spent at a location where I can't bring my wheelchair or service dog. Which means, a location where I cannot safely go to. So exhausting to know that you're not even their second or third thought 😪
