Did you have mean parents?
My parents will celebrate their wedding anniversary in Jan. I still live at home with them and have no siblings. We do annual family vacations. I don't pay rent at all. I do work full time and have my own health insurance. I have my own car too and pay whatever my car needs. They don't demand that I go on to grad school or get a better job. They are quite happy that I have a college degree, that I have a full time job and that I can drive. They don't pressure me to get married. I'm at the age now where most women are married and have their own families. But marriage just isn't for me.

Tough to say. Definitely not my dad, he was caring to a fault, but my mom could be considered mean. It's more just that she doesnt care. Never has and never shown signs of caring about me. Just small odd things like when I turned 18 I had to start paying rent, even though I was going to college. My 2 younger sisters both were told as long as they were going to college they didnt have to pay rent. Also when I graduated I never got any kind of party, my mom threw a big party for sister, rented out a restaurant, invited the whole family. I also later found out my mom gave my sister $1,000 a year to help with college even though my sister insisted she didnt, I never got a penny.
Just last weekend my sister was going to a Bears game on sunday, on saturday my sister tried calling me to tell me a friend of hers dropped out and she had an extra ticket. Didnt know I had my phone on silent so didnt get the call. She tried a few times because it was her friends ticket and if she didnt hear from me within a few minutes it was going to someone else. My sister called my mom and told her to go get me and my mom told her sure. She never let me know and said "oh, i forgot."
Never directly mean, just holds some sort of deep seated resentment towards me.

Did you ever tell your mom the way she was treating you was rude and hurtful? Favoring one child over another is just so wrong. Every child should be loved equally by both parents. Sorry your mom did this.
