I'm the oldest in my family and I never feel that mom treats me the same way my sister gets. I cried and talked to her all the time. It's ok to feel sad. It's not that your family doesn't like you. You may tell them your feelings. Love from your sisters and brothers are also love (eh, hard to find, but that's true). Hope everything goes well for you 🌷

Hey, I feel you❤️ I’m the oldest of 5 and also the only one with ADHD.. my dad is also an ADHDer, but I grew up with my mum and stepdad, so I always felt like the “black sheep” of the family. At the age of 13 or so I first got to know my biological father. Then I was like “aaah alright, now everything makes sense! There are more of my kind”😅 it still took another 20 years until I was diagnosed.. Do you maybe have a parent or grandparent you can relate to? Very often other people in the family have ADHD also🌻
