Any help with family rejection?

My brother and I have never got along since he was 19 and I was 11. He moved to university and I started secondary school. He went to an all boys grammar school and literally the first girl he met in university became his girlfriend then and now is his wife. She has always disliked me, which I didn't know till the last few years. And she I feel has made him dislike me.

So me and my brother have had big fights and it's always his wife that has been the cause.

He has always been my mothers favourite. She doesn't hide this, she actually tells me and my other brother and sister this when she's mad at us. Durning fights with him she automatically sides with him and even if she knows nothing about what's happened she will join in insulting me.

My mother and that brother have recently fallen out. This was over his wife attacking my mother and father. She said she hates are whole family.

I tried to get him to fix things with her. He just give me insults in return and messaged my mother telling her to stop listening to hateful me, and she agreed that I was hateful. Said "we have are own difficulties with her".

So rejection by my mother once again and it seems my brother will always hate me and want nothing to do with me.

Hi my name is Lucy. Your not alone. I have felt rejected by my mother too. I've never really felt connect to my parents and it's been difficult. I suffer with severe social anxiety as well which has been very difficult. My mum left me when I was a baby and I feel like she has never really made an effort to be a part of my life. I'm 20 years old and I don't feel like I've ever had a proper mother daughter relationship with her which has been extremely difficult. This group is such a great way to connect with other who are going through the same or similar situations. I've only been on here a day but I'm already finding it helpful. If you ever want to talk you can message me ☺️
