Your story really compelled me to reply for a few reasons. 1st- I think you need to address this with you mother- If she dies before you do, you will resent her for it for the rest of your life. Communication is SO important, and it's important to tell her that her actions and her words make you feel like you are less important than your brother. Put her in your shoes and ask her how she would feel. She is your mother and you are her daughter. 2nd- If she doesn't agree to add you in the will, and still shows favoritism to the brother, you should say that you would love to be the executor of her estate but given the situation, it would be too painful for you.
I really feel sorry for you; I can't imagine the way you must feel. DNA isn't necessary to make a family a family, and it's sad that your mother doesn't see this! I just want to scream "What's wrong with her???"
Good luck addressing this with your mother! I really hope you do. You owe it to yourself!
