Parents saying I love you

Miranda • Mommy to five beauties 😘

Hi everyone! I'll make this short!

My parents don't say I Love You to me. But they say it to my brother. I'm 22 and he's 20 so it's not a big age difference. When he leaves the house it's always bye love ya. And same with the phone. When it's me it's always bye or see ya at home. It kinda upsets me when I think about it. But is this normal? I don't remember the last time my mom said it to me... my dad was more recent maybe a couple months ago. My dad tells my brothers girlfriend that he loves her(as in bye love you)

I'm being kicked out (they're putting the house up for sale and moving to the shore) and I have this feeling that my brother and his girlfriend will be able to move with them. I have a 1 year old that they say I love you to and they show affection.

Here's a little thing that happened too that I feel like I need to talk about.

My brother and his girlfriend are addicts.

The girlfriend was A WEEK CLEAN and my dad says to her "I love you, I'm so proud of you. You're doing so good" but I've NEVER heard he's proud of me... I work full time go to school full time and got accepted into the university that I plan to get my BSN. He didn't even know I was in college. I LIVE WITH THEM. A big issue my brothers gf. It makes me feel as if I was replaced.

So I made a decision that if she is to move with them in the next house, it's better for my son and I both to cut ties with them. The negativity and the way to save my son from disappointment this is the way I feel is necessary.

I know I feel jealous of the attention the gf gets and I don't want my son having to compete with (hopefully it won't happen) the kids my brother might have with the girl (they're both addicts that's why I say this). But they have shown me that my brother and the gf are more important. At least that's how I feel.

Sorry this post is all scrambled but I needed to vent.
