I understand how you feel.

I am familiar with these feelings. There have been time when I felt my brother paid no attention to me and my daughter. But he turned out felt about the same.

But then when time gets tough and something bad happens my brother is always there. I know I can rely on him in tough times and vice versa. That's something.

So I accepted that our relationship might not be ideal, like we are kind of close but not as close as we both wished but sometimes that's a reality of a relationship and could try to be happy about what "IS"'not "what we wish it was".

You also have to accept that other people might have a different more busy life. My brother has three kids and two are still at home while I have one and she is an adult. It's only natural he is a bit more busy. Your brother might be more busy for number of reasons.

As about him having to cancel an event due to baseball game that's just a reality of life. It doesnt mean he doesn't love you

Please don't harm yourself. Your brother certainly loves you but it's natural that he has other things going on. It's just how it is. Hang in there
