It's heartbreaking when your own family goes against you. And there's nothing you can do to convince them, either.

At the very least, you have your parents support.

I went through a very rough patch with my brothers following my last breakup. I had to move in with them because I had no place to go. It was one of my parents houses so they were in no place to complain about my infringing on their territory. I was in a dark place and actually needed help and support... but all they would do is bitch about me and basically tell me that I failed at life. They told me my cats couldn't live with us and then turned around and let one of their friends keep her cat there.
They were only living there at the time because one was fresh out of school and looking for work, the other was simply too cheap to pay for his own place, even though he could afford it. I didn't judge either of them. My parents supported me, my mom however was in denial about my brothers treatment of me, "they're just worried about you" she would say, but it went beyond that, they were simply bullying me.
I would cry at night wondering why they hated me so much.

After a while though, I learned that it wasn't me after all My oldest brother was unhappy at not being able to find a job and having no money; he now has one and has since purchased a house, got engaged, got a dog. My second brother, he was unhappy with being alone - he's since found a girlfriend (together a year or two now?) and he's happier than ever. Things eventually went back to normal.

All I can say is don't take it personally and don't interact with them if you can help it. They most likely have their own issues and are envious of you for one reason or another.

Good luck OP

Thank you.

That sounds like a horrible situation you were in. I can relate, as the family members causing all the negativity in my life now were once as close to me as immediate family.

I once looked up to these people and saw them as role models. They shaped a great portion of who I am today... Somehow. But now.... Yes it is so heartbreaking. Especially seeing them fall into a pit of pure evil negativity.

The sad thing is, their root cause, or unhappy situation is a permanent one, and I do 't know if will ever be normal again.

I am glad it is normal with your brothers again, but boy is it weird how people can turn on you like that.

Speaking of parents supporting you... Here in s a funny example I just thought of....

Parents dropping 10k on a kid's wedding and not getting played back is seen as socially acceptable... It would not be ridiculed. 10k on one be little day.

But parents dropping 10k on a struggling kid who needs support, is seen as spoiling or using by society.

Also don't worry about your typos. On sure that have many. I am about to crash fro. Lack of sleep
