I think this is something that you should discuss with your parents.
All this time you have been suffering in silence and there may be an explanation that will heal your feelings.
Talk to them.They loved you enough to make you a part of the family and it is in your best interest to talk about this.
They may be feeling rejected also.Communication is key.Have that talk.
