Hi again. :( Last time I popped in you were at a hard spot too. I won't offer any advice on what to DO, since you're the only one that can really tell. But I will say this. You don't have to like your family, just love em (if it were the other way around I'd be in a world of crap). And not that I'm sticking up for your bro, cuz certainly I sympathize with you, but remember that the drug thing might have more than a little affect on him. Also, maybe you being overshadowed isn't a bad thing. Maybe your mom feels you are the one that is mature enough to take care of yourself.
I felt overshadowed by my bro sometimes, but then I realised, I was the one that got more attention. My bro on the other hand is now living his own life, married, and taking care of himself and his wife. And my mom knew that. She knew he was responsible and smart enough to make his own decisions. Meanwhile I'm still at home with my mom going to alternative school because I wasn't (and probably still am not) mature enough to take care of myself.
So maybe, by comparison, you're like my bro. Maybe a lil softer but eh. I would think your mom feels she has raised an intelligent, decent, unique, and mature daughter. Personally, I would feel more honored by that. I pry too much, muh bad. Hope things go well.
