I’m not sure if something is wrong with my family or what, but I think I might be in danger

I’ve never posted here before but I thought this would be a great place to get some outside perspectives on this. My family has been…acting strange and I’m not sure if it’s just my anxiety or if something is going on. <br><br>A little background: I’m the youngest in my family with 5 older brothers, so I have to deal a lot with the youngest syndrome where they don’t take me seriously, which is expected and fine. I live in a pretty big house that my parents inherited from my grandparents. It’s a very Victorian style, 4 story mansion basically. <br><br>I live on the fourth floor, with no neighbors except my parents who live in the main bedroom next to mine. All of my brothers live on the floors below me, so it’s pretty lonely and quiet. <br><br>I’ve always felt like my family treats me differently, but figured that it’s just because of my age. I’m 16 while my youngest brother is 25 and my oldest is 38. I don’t have a problem with any of my brothers, it’s just that none of them take me seriously at all. I think the youngest I’ve ever heard anyone call me is 6, and I get a lot of “you’re too young to understand”. But my family is pretty traditional, so I’m used to that. <br><br>The reason I’m worried is because I don’t think they actually know my age. I’ve been trying to pay more attention to how they treat me and have come to the realisation that they usually don’t acknowledge me unless they need something, and when they do talk to me they usually talk down to me, not in an annoying way but like they would to a young kid. <br><br>They also don’t seem to know what my name is half the time, which I know can happen to people with large families but my parents have been doing this too lately. Usually they just call me “child” which is weird, and they would always just yell “Evelyn!” if they needed me but that hasn’t happened in weeks. <br><br>I don’t know if this makes any sense but something just feels off. I’ve never seen anything weird, and my family doesn’t seem upset or angry with me, they just seem to have this whole disconnect from reality. I’m going to try to pay better attention and see if I can figure anything out. <br><br>I’ll update if anything comes of this, thanks for reading :)
