Is it normal that i hate my family of origin?

i'm 56 years of age. My entire life my mother has preferred my siblings - one older, one younger. She calls them the two girls - where am I in all of this? Nowhere. My aunt and grandfather figured this one out. They were like, why does she treat the other one differently? I'm like my Dad who was amazing. That's why.
My mother dropped by yesterday, her mobile rang. She spent an hour and a half at my place talking to someone else. She was rude to me and to my adult son. She could remember stuff about my older sister on the phone - nothing about me. That's normal.
I get so angry sometimes, the omissions are just about as bad as anything else. And my sisters whinge to me constantly about their lives. One has a partner and two kids, the other is single. Both are on a good income. I have four kids and have been a single parent for years, and they complain to me about their financial situation.

    If you're getting nothing positive from these family relationships, end them. Would you put up with "friends" who treated you like that? I'll bet not.

    When are you going to let it go and simply enjoy your life? How long are you going to cling onto the past?

    Part of existence is to be better and achieve more than the previous generation. It sucks that your childhood wasn't up there with the 1% of stable families in the world, but you have to move forward, create your own fond memories and watch your children grow in the love you provide.

    Maybe your mother knows more about your sisters because they open up and talk to her a lot more than you do, you selfrighteous self loathing baby making machine. STOP COMPLAINING AND JOIN THE MARINE CORE. You bitch.
