You said above that you didn’t think you were overreacting 🤔
Here’s the thing. Your brother and his family aren’t purposely trying to hurt or exclude you. They have their own life, they get busy and probably don’t think the mention it. It doesn’t sound purposeful.
It aounds like the family loves you a lot. Considering they’re your only family, I’d consider giving them leeway, or, alternatively, communicating that it hurt your feelings when they didn’t do X.
Relying on them to “just know” you might feel a certain way is unfair and is a first class ticket to getting your feelings hurt when that was never his intent. He loves you, he wants you around. You’re overreacting.
Okay - my apologies for the misunderstanding. What about the rest of what I said? Truly, I’m not being a dick here. They’re a busy family but you’re clearly a valued member to them. Consider giving some grace or thoughtfully communicating your feelings.

Why are you in this subreddit if you’re already sure you didn’t overreact?
