I'm the youngest (sort of) in my family. No one ever talks to me or ever calls unless someone dies . Not my parents , siblings, etc. And if I have a problem I cannot go to them. Not to talk or anything. Im 24 and it really hasnt hit me until now. When I tried to talk to them before, I was told that I was over reacting...Am I?

Maybe, I am not super close to my family. In fact I'm much closer to my boyfriends parents than my own. . You have to give a little and cannot expect all the effort to come from your family, they may not call you, but when was the last time you made contact. You're allowed to suggest a meeting or call for a chat as well.
When I talked to my Mum about the rift I felt between us, I found out she was just trying to give me space to live my own life... I thought she was ignoring me

Its hard sometimes when you feel left out, sometimes not only my siblings but my mother too. They don't call me or feel annoyed when I show up at their place with my kids. They call me when they need something or like you said, relative passed away and we have to give money which our costume. But don't feel bad cause your not alone, and its okay to say no I cannot do it this time. Get more closer to your husbands family.

Just because you are born into a given family doesn't mean that you are stuck with them.
For a lot of people, their families are their first set of obstacles to overcome.
You can build a family anywhere... a family of friends.

Probably not. I am the oldest and my younger sister is the favorite. No one really puts forth the effort to support me in my family either....I am 48 and it still bothers me. Just know that it isn't your fault and make your own family one day that is loving and supportive of one another...all of them.
