This is cliché I know, but I am 18 now, and I can remember things being different for me ever since I was little. Me and any of my siblings can make the same mistake and I could get punished for it so much harsher. If I argue with a sibling, rather than asking both what happened and trying to sort the problem a fair way, my mum just instantly assumes I am the problem, then proceeds to not allow me to speak. If however, she has witnessed the thing e.g today my younger brother repeatedly told me to shut up and threw a ball at me ‘by accident’, my mother will just say ‘why did you react ?’ and blame the incident on me for responding. I have tried to play to her rules many times, by not reacting, speaking with full kindness and respect, and never giving a reason for an argument to start, but al that gets me is more disrespect from my younger brother who takes advantage of my trying to prevent this from landing on my head, and my older siblings also take advantage of this. E.g., my older brother repeatedly calls me a name I don’t like multiple times every day (Ik he’s my brother and that’s what they do) but my mum just says it’s my fault for responding to him. It has gotten to the point where I have to take videos of my younger brother coming into my room and saying rude things or even sometimes hitting me, just so I can show my mum that he does these things without reason. My mum will say ‘ok I will sort it’ but never says anything to him. As a result, his disrespect for me gets worse because he knows he can get away with it. My older siblings are also under this illusion that they can manipulate things to make them seem to be my fault. I know I sound crazy on here but I swear, I get the blame for 99% of our family problems. I will never forget one time somebody in the house had broken a glass and not cleaned it up, and despite my little brother owning up to it, my mums exact to me words were’I don’t care what anyone else says, I want to say you did it, so you did it’. I sound crazy Ik, and please tell me if I am a drama queen, and if I am the problem here but I feel so alone most the time at home, and I really feel like the black sheep. I don’t fit in, but not for a lack of trying. Someone pls tell me I’m not overthinking this! Xx
