It sounds like you’re feeling really hurt and undervalued right now. It’s completely normal to want love and appreciation, especially from your family. You’re doing so much at home and it’s tough when your efforts go unnoticed.

Start by expressing how much you long for connection and support. You could say something like:

“I really need to talk about how I've been feeling. Sometimes it feels like I’m invisible in my own family. I see how my sisters get attention and support, and I can’t help but feel left out. I work hard around the house, yet it seems like my efforts go unrecognized. What I really want is to feel loved and appreciated for who I am. I need someone who will support me and acknowledge what I do, not just my sisters.”

It’s important for you to share these feelings, whether with a trusted adult, friend, or counselor. You deserve to be heard and valued.
