I(15m) live with my mom(61f) and dad(65m), my mom has three children from another her previous marriage, Jack(29), Cherry(27) and Kent(28), their dad died 18 years ago. I was born after a year of my mom getting remarried to my dad. My half siblings never really saw me as a brother, they would not acknowledge me at family events like Christmas parties or anytime. They would always ignore me. I tried to talk to them but they would always find a way to talk to someone else or just ignore me. They would always acknowledge my cousins but never me and I was always distant when on family photos. My half siblings would always show affection to my cousins same age as me and bring them gifts but I was always left out, even my aunts and uncles ignored me. Mg parents never really tried to encourage them to be warmer to me though so that hurts. Cherry had her engagement party a couple days ago, I was looked at weirdly by the guest because they never knew she had another brother other than Jack and Kent. Her Fiance, Mark tried to engage in a conversation with me, saying “I never knew Cherry had a younger brother.” I felt uncomfortable and hurt talking to him because it hurts knowing I was never seen as family by her. I told him to please not talk to me anymore because I didn’t want to intrude on my sister’s life. He tried to reassure me that it wouldn’t be a problem and I won’t intrude on anything. He told me I he always wanted to have a younger brother and I won’t be a problem. I just told him no and said my sister doesn’t consider me as a brother so you shouldn’t consider me as one too. He was hurt by this and tried to comfort me saying she does see me as a brother, but I just ignored him and left, sitting outside. My mom and dad later scolded on the drive home me for telling that to my sister’s fiance and that she does care about. Now I’m grounded for a month. My sister later called me saying that I made her fiance mad at her and I should “grow the fuck up” and “forget about the past”. I hang up on her and blocked her. I really don’t know what to do because I really wanted to have a relationship with Mark because he seems really nice and genuine, but I feel like I don’t belong and hurt whenever I’m in a family events or talking to him. I just can’t get over how I was just ignored by them.

I am the asshole? Maybe I acted to much to Mark and I should have just forget how they treated me.
