He’s more narcissistic and I think family automatically accepts him because he reflects their narcissism. They readily default to lauding him for average milestones while holding me at arm’s length whenever I bring any issue or concern. My successes feel overshadowed by me being the problem.

I think I am a scapegoat.
Sorry this happened to you. This sounds like one of my three brothers who have a mental illness.

This life will be good and beautiful, but not without heartbreak.

In death come peace. But pain is the cost of living.

Like love, it's how we know we're alive.
