Well, by now we are all adults. So, maybe we are really growing apart. Sure feels like it.

Like, adults in their 20s or 40s or 60s?

And Judy, yes, I am in college.

So you and your sibs are just barely scraping over the adult eligibility line?

Adullts in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Basically, it's just difficult when they are so mean. It's like the younger ones become mean too,to get back. It's ridiculous.

If you are in college, and in the middle, how old is the youngest? I'm still waiting for ages. Specific ages.

What information do these people want from you? I'm still not clear on that.

I'm not clear on any of this - I'm hung up on "rarely do I get to get my way" and explaining to the family what's going on in OP's mind.

I don't think this is about sibling rivalry.

I am one of the four in the middle and I feel lost in the family at times. I don't get much attention because I am the "mild" one. So, I get "pushed" around whenever. I just hate it when this happens. Probably the reason why I just let it be more so nowadays.
