I am 20 and living at home. My brother is 24 and lives far away. Mom worries about my bro and doesn't see him very often. My Bro is a jerk and never calls and when he does he doesn't really say anything to her other then one word answers. He is tries to separate him self from her as much as possible. I try to love my mom more to make up for him and I am really scared to move out cuz I don't want her to be alone (she has my dad and everything but I don't want to miss both of us I guess)

My mom loves us both but essentially she wants what she cant have. She takes me for granted I guess. When he come to town she will give him my car (with out asking me) and will bend over backwards for him. She will take his side in any fight or disagreement no matter what it maybe. He can do no wrong.

I am kinda her punching bag in a manner of speaking. He doesn't call she yells at me for not putting my shoes away.

What can I do? I am scared that the only way she will love me is if I leave too? Help
 
Nothing you can do - she "loves" him more as he's far away - absence makes the heart grow fonder. Plus I've found moms tend to ADORE their sons. My mom would bend over backwards for my jerk brothers, but not for me. And I'm the one at home, helping her, etc...

Nothing you can do, just vow in your heart to not make the same mistake when you are a mom.

You're not alone in this problem, sweetie. Try to realize it's in some women's nature to adore their sons, and plus he's a "treat" to see and talk to - you are always there (thus boring, like me.......) I'm in the same boat!
