is this right

talk. to. her. about. it.
she probably doesn't realise you feel this way, and if she does, that's just bad parenting. it's better to have friends to confide in anyway, they're much more fun. :]

I reckon that your mom does love you, and maybe i'm wrong, but you just have to look past what you've taught yourself to see and you'll get the truth. You sound like a great daughter, and your mom probably needs you for support, but dosnt realise you need the same thing. Everyone needs love and thinking you dont have it is awful, but your mom probably does love you, remember to the world you may just be one person, but to one person you may be the world.xxx

Ha, you girrrrllll, you! Jpd. Ok, advice, advice...Your mom should respect you and whatever decisions you make...well, in the correct light. Ha, don't become a crack addict because I said that. Being a good student is important I suppose, though I never prioritized school..don't be a good student for your mom, be a good student for yourself..it will benefit you later.

Be a good student for yourself, and I think overall your mom wants whats best for you, good school work leads to a great future, one with luxuries and sucess, I think it's your moms way of saying "I want you to have a better future" but if she really does treat you different from your brothers, then talk to her about it, in a calm rational matter. If she is truly your mother she should undertand what her actions are doing to you.

I know what you mean. i have the same problem. my parents have always favoured my older brother and therefore, I have been a little bundle of nothing to them. I always do my best to impress them, to make them love me. But they don't even try. And when I try to talk to my mom (I don't bother with my dad), she bursts out into tears and tells me what a bad mother she is. Please note this was always at night after she had been drinking. By morning, she doesn't remember a thing and I'm back to playing "catch up" to follow in my brother's footsteps... And trying to talk to her before she's started drinking is virtualy impossible - it's as if i don't exist....
