Lostangel, I'm sorry that you're feeling hurt and that your mom loves you and your family less than your sister and her family. That would really suck. I'm sure it's not as bad as you think it is but you have every right to voice your feelings and make them heard. I'm sorry you were laughed at. That wasn't very sensitive for them to do that to you. Did I understand you to say that you live farther away from your mom than your sister does? Maybe that's why there isn't the same closeness and she couldn't come to the hospital when your children were born. Sorry, if I'm misunderstanding. You have a right to whatever feelings you have. Would it be possible for you to talk with your mom directly instead of through your neice? Maybe that way you would be able to get things sorted out easier. My heart goes out to you.
