Tight Money Situations & The Usual Family Drama

The hubby and I got ourselves into a bad financial situation this month. Between his old job and new, he had 3 weeks of no pay. I'm on unemployment, and that doesn't pay for much. We had to burn through our savings account pretty quickly. On top of that, we had a flat tire, Vonage hidden fees, an extended warranty on my diamond engagement ring of almost $200, and some other strange items show up this month without budgeting.

Even though our income combined is more than it was last year, it's going to take a few payroll cycles to get our savings account back and comfy. I went to my mom for help since our bank account needed cash to make some utility and loan payments, but she could not get the money from her savings account immediately. So, I went to the brother I feel I am the closest to, but he might disagree. Upon asking him for money, I was told NO. He then proceeded to plan a road trip or something to Florida with my other brother. I left their house feeling extremely upset that my baby brother refused to help. We have the cash coming within the next two weeks, so I'm not trying to borrow cash without repayment.

Driving home, I just cried over the fact that my 3 brothers (who all live within 20 minutes of me) really don't care about me or my life. None of them cared to go to my wedding. Everything they do in life is top secret from me. It's depressing. My mom made a phone call to my oldest brother, and he luckily came through on the loan. I don't know what I did to have my brothers generally dislike me so much, but that's one of the many reasons I want to move out east. Where's the family support where I'm at? In the past, I've had to beg brothers to come over to my house. It just seems like the family bond is gone between us. It probably didn't help that my three brothers grew up idolizing my dad and disrespecting my mom. I'm expendable I guess.
