I was like...I'm the oldest..? And he said "what, like you're going to have a family someday?"
That hurt. I feel hopeless now. Who would want me anyways?

That is just terrible and what a horrible thing for your step dad to say. Maybe you need to have a private conversation with your mom about the China? My grandmother collected china tea cups and saucers from all over the world her whole life. They were suppose to go to me when she passed but for a myriad of reasons did not. It really hurt me because they meant something very special to me. I grew up loving them and hearing my grandmas stories about each cup and saucer and its significance to her. But I couldn't change what was done so I decided to start my own China Cup and Saucer collection in her memory. It's not exactly the same but I think of my grandma each time I add to my collection . If you don't get the 150 year old China....pick out your own pattern and make your own memories.
I know this statement by your step dad was much bigger than a set of China.....he really must have cut your deeply with that kind of commentary (((hugs)))
