DEAR ABBY: Being the least favorite is hurtful, yet my mom makes sure to convey how much she hates me every chance she gets. Mind you, she would never say that in front of my dad or my sisters. She says it standing behind me, rubbing it in. My sisters get text messages from her telling them how much she misses them. Me? I get comments like “I wish you were never born.” I have tried hard to please her, but nothing has worked. Sadly, my youngest sister is rude and hates me, too. Please advise. -- UNLOVED IN TENNESSEE
