"No Respect I tell 'ya. No Respect at all."

If you're a little sister or brother in ur family, regardless of your current age, do you still feel that you are undermined? Overlooked? Not taken seriously and treated like a child? It drives me berserk. I'm 38, very mature and a widow without kids. Yet despite all of my adult trials and tribulations I'm still treated like the baby. That's not a good thing, peeps. D@mmit I've more than earned my share of respect. I'm sure others out there have too. I have confronted my remaining siblings [2 are deceased] about this, before U ask. What happens? I'm ignored. I've never, ever asked for help and when I've asked them if they & their friends, of whom they've dropped lots of dough on by buying raffles & girl scout cookies & avon/ Mary Kay & rubbish from Publishers Clearing House, could they please donate $2.00 bucks to me via PayPal to help towards me keeping my flat, resuscitate my floundering awareness company & towards my much needed gastric bypass. That's it, just 2 bucks a person. I'll even add them as a friend on my 2 Myspace pages where i set it up for them & the others for easier access if they do & send all who contribute a thank you comment on their profile page. I'm not asking for the moon or $25,000.00 like my eldest brother Michael did 7 years ago. *And he's healthy, no kids w/ a wife & a good paying job w/ the federal government & military!* And these people can't part with or ask their friends or co workers to part w/ two bucks. Nothing and it hurts. I've helped them, I've helped others when I had next to nothing. Now I've got nothing. Some family. Some friends. I'm venting, guys. Sometimes I feel that my being kind to people and helping them when I asked nothing in return, and now when I need it no one is there-- it was a waste. It was all in vain. This is hopeless and I feel like ... nevermind. I've said enough. Tae care gang. And if you don't have family or friends like this, consider yourself blessed. Ciao. Jennifer
