So, quick background....my parents "disowned" me back when I was going through what I like to call, an "impulsive" phase. Since then, our relationship is much better.

The problem, is that my cousin, who is going to college, is living in their home right now. He is great, don't get me wrong. I love him to death. It's just I am friends with him on Facebook, and he is always updating his status with stuff that he did with them. Like movies, and shopping, and they are almost like being his parents. Which, he IS in a city about an hour away from his actual house, so it's not like he is very close to home. So, I understand them being nice.

BUT...They don't do these things with me! I feel like I am being replaced! Bad enough my biological mom kept my brother, but now my adoptive parents are enjoying my male cousin more than me!

I probably am being stupid. I have kids, he doesn't. So he's probably available more than I am . (although I am available every other day of the week, if that makes sense...since I have the kids only half of the week.)

What gives? Is he more fun cause he's living with them? My dad cooks with him, and stuff. Yes, he can help get on the roof and put up christmas lights, which I am not physically able to do, and yes he is an engineering student, like my dad is an engineer, but still.

I feel sad. And Stupid for feeling sad.

Whatever.
