My parents are gone. But my husband's parents are very close to me. That is very good

I still live with my father because of my seizures and how I'm never aware of any of them ever happening, someone else has to be around me and tell me of them happening. It just sucks that I'm always home alone during the day so I don't know if I get/have any seizures during the day while I'm alone. My father never gets done from work until 4pm everyday during the week and my boyfriend never gets done from his work until midnight during the week. Whenever I think I might have had one at night, I always call my dad to inform him about it and then he will usually leave work early so I'm not alone and keep an eye on me.

W I talk with my older brother everyday on his way to work, but due to something my mom said to both my sister in laws, my younger brother isn’t allowed to talk to me. He used to talk with me when she wasn’t around, but mom told his wife and even though mom’s dead and gone, whatever lies she had said, neither wife no longer likes me and don’t care for their husbands ( my brothers) talking to me. I haven’t even seen my younger brother since 2017, when he found out that dad was having a family bbq for me when I was down for close to a month. So my younger brother showed up and asked why he didn’t get invited and I told him exactly why. Everyone was shocked when I said that if he wasn’t allowed to talk to me then he wasn’t allowed to be around me so he didn’t get invited. The look on everyone’s faces was hilarious. But like I said, my older brother and I talk 5 days ( or more) a week so when we do get together we just pick up where we left off.
