Is it normal to feel alienated from your siblings?

4 Comments

I am not on good terms with any of my brothers or sisters. I am the youngest and they all treat me like a loser because I am unemployed right now. I hate them for being so judgmental of me while I am experiencing difficulty. I really need their moral support, but, they are getting enjoyment out of my pain and struggling. They talk and laugh about me at family gatherings. I have built up a lot of resentment towards all of them and now I just completely avoid them altogether. Is my reaction normal? What can I do to improve the situation?

    Normal. i feel alienated from my older sisters because of the way they treated me in the past, and I don't want to build relationships with them because I don't trust them.

    Forget everything that they're saying. Don't let it get to you, and don't let it show that it's getting to you. If you let them see that it's bothering you, that gives them more reason to pick.

    Once you get a new great job, just throw it all in their faces.
