What do you do when you feel replaced?

I know it sounds weird but it a very true question. My twin sister’s best friend is kind of taking my place in my family. On weekends she is here more then I am. My mom will go out and buy her a bunch of stuff, take her out for lunch, pick her up after school along with my other 2 sisters…. but completly forget me. And i was fine, like i dont mind taking the bus home and stuff. But it finally got to me when, my mom and dad asked my 2 sisters and her to go to a family lunch tomorrow… and failed to ask or even mention it to me. I found out by, who other then, my sisters friend. My mom still hasn’t said anything about it to me. And now, if i wake up and they are all gone to this family lunch, without me, i will honestly cry. I am not much of one to stick up for herself, and i have kinda let it get to this point. and i dont wanna like, judge my parents or anything or make them mad at me. What should I do?

Answer #1

I think you should show them this question. You have to say how you feel or one day you’ll just explode. I know it’s difficult but all you have to say is that you like you’re being replaced and would to do more with your family. You have to let them know…they aren’t mind-readers. Give them a nudge!

Answer #2

heavy things, I will do no exaggeration to claim denials, accept everything that happened, if I maintain that is not necessarily wrong, just like hurting yourself and others, all will be fine, do your best for those around us, still fun :)

Answer #3

believe me spinning wheels, if done for the family sincerely all will be good, only a matter of time,

Answer #4

First I’m very sorry, no one should have to feel replaced or like they don’t have a place to belong. I would be extremely hurt and crying also if I was in your position, I mean by everything your saying you gotta be feeling pretty left out and non-exsistent. Second you have to bring this up to your parents. Or even ask tomorrow like (what are you doing today) and start from there. & hopefully things turn around.

Answer #5

I feel sad but then again the next person will just be a rebound anyway!

Answer #6

When it comes to my friends…Well I know I am not being replaced. It may feel like it but all of my extremely close friends have told me I am one of a kind :) And that we’re really close! So don’t worry about it! And if you are getting replaced by somebody else…kill them (make it look like an accident, though!) :D

Answer #7

And don’t worry about your twin sister’s best friend. Believe me, no friend can really REPLACE a sibling. Also, I like to hang out with my friends instead of my sister I still love her! So don’t worry about it, ok?

Answer #8

well first off this is a first where a twin is closer to a friend there her other twin…I must say she sounds horrible! Instead of making sure you both are close its like she is pushing you out & her best friend in…from what you stated here of course. pretty sad!

*

I will be honest here…where the flying f$%^ have you been til now?! You sat there allowing this abuse this non existing relationship for yourself. Why have you not taken a stand til now since she has pushed her way into your sisters life & into your families life as if you were the outsider!?

* If you want to make the change you gotta be serious…that means fighting fire with fire to exist…you want to make a statement, begin with opening your mouth…barging into conversations…reminding them that you are a part of this family & damn well be treated with the same respect as everyone else! if you dont open your mouth, they will keep pushing you to the curb…you want to know what is going on…start acting like you care…ask questions, ask them how their day was, include & participate in daily conversations…tell them what happened to you in school…or how well you did on your last test…make them see you are there not just as a piece of unused furniture collecting dust.

I know it sux to feel left out…I felt like that for years…(narcissistic mother for ya) that is why I am telling you to take a stand…make them listen…most of all make them include you as a family member not like a stranger!

hope this helped & good luck to ya! Keep us posted!

Answer #10

Very well said!!!!!!

Answer #11

Talk to them about it, express to them how you feel about it. They may not be doing it intentionally, telling them will let them know.
