My mother and I have always had a rocky relationship and I wanted to know if there are things that she does which have terms for them (like gaslighting or something) I’m the youngest in my family (16 years old) and I have a 33 year old brother and a 35 year old sister, I’ve always felt like I wasn’t apart of the family because I was never involved in things and I have proof of this because my family don’t tell me anything. My cousin has recently has a baby with his girlfriend and I had no idea she was pregnant or that they were even still together until a week to her due date, my mother said she thought that I knew but no one had said anything to me, I then asked her if my cousin was living in *random town name* or if he was still living in my aunts house and she said what she frequently says; “don’t you be telling anybody where he lives or anything!” I’ve never understood why she shouts this at me so often because I have very few friends and I’m not close to anyone in our immediate family that I would talk to them about this. Other things that I wasn’t told about where my aunts minor heart attack or my grandmothers cancer diagnosis, I wanted to know if there was a term for this or if I’m just being paranoid please help X
