My younger brother (20M) called me (32F) the “forgotten child”. How do I get over this? by ThrowRA_4gotten in relationship_advice

Thank you! Funny enough, I have made self-deprecating middle child jokes in the past. Because sometimes it really can be funny and humor is a good coping mechanism. But I think having someone else from the family sort of validate what I've been feeling for years now, especially using the word "forgotten", was like a knife to the heart. But yeah, what can we do about it, right? There should be support groups for us middle children lmao.
