Is it normal to seek revenge on you own family?

I dont like my family that much. I am the fourth of five kids and I feel a little bit ignored. I have been a good kid. I have never done anything really stupid or insane. My grades have always been slightly above average, but nothing special and for that reason I feel like I have been overlooked.
My oldest sister was the perfect one. My next sister was the black sheep. My older brother was the rebellious one. My younger brother was the baby. And I was "the filler." I was just there. Nothing special. Just a living organism existing to fill a familiar gap.
Because of this, Being older now (21), I don't feel that I should give any treatment to my family, namely my parents. Or in other words, I have the desire to treat them now how they treated me growing up.
I always knew that they were there "for" me, but never there "with" me. My past is filled with innumerable unkept promises from my father just because they didn't mean enough for him to remember he made them and Countless times of being overlooked by my mother by one of my other siblings. To this day I call my parents by their first name. I haven't called them "mom" or "dad" since I was in middle school.
That sounds crazy, but is that normal?

Is It Normal?

  • We all have family problems but you cant blame everyone else in your family for not trying to get noticed. You cant just expect something to be seen more than something thats more exciting. Yes they should of paid more attention to you but then again you should of made yourself more noticable.

  • Itduz makes a valid point. BooHoo better call the Waambulance... Are you serious? Really? Dude, come on! You have a huge family, that is awesome! You call your parents by their first names, why? Are you trying to punish them for failing you? What exactly did they do that was so wrong that every other parent on this planet hasn't done? You have a golden opportunity to have a stellar relationship with your parents, but you have to want it, in order to have it. It's never too late! What would happen if something terrible occurred and they died, today? How would you feel? What would you have wanted to say that you didn't get to? Life is too short to focus on the negative. Get over it, and move on. Build a relationship with your parents, and siblings. You'll be thankful you did!

  • Seriously, you want revenge because of that?

    I'm so sorry that you went through such a traumatic experience but this is reality calling.

    There are far worse things to have happen to you and I find you to be immature and selfish. Yeah, it's nice to get attention but maybe your parents are really proud of you, more so than the black sheep or the rebellious one because of your being ordinary.

    Maybe they trusted you as being responsible and believed that maybe you were fine at coping on your own, whilst your siblings were having a difficult time.
