AIO for getting angry about how my family talks with me

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws

I told my parents many times how it hurts me when we have a conversation and they just keep on going with their own topics, while not even acknowledging what I said. Or when I say multiple things, they only cherry pick one to answer and don’t even look back. When I tell them that they should stop ignoring what I say, they act oblivious and make it seem that it’s normal to have a conversation like that. Today I snapped hard when my mom kept on talking basically in monologue about a topic we have been on for a while, sometimes even repeating things I told her a while ago, branding them as her own discovery. When I mentioned that I already told her about it back then, she just shrugged it off that she just forgot about me saying sth. So today I flipped and started yelling how it hurts me and gets me really mad, that they always oversee my input and that id have the same outcome of a conversation listening to a Podcast and occasionally something into the void of my own apartment. They only react when I get loud and it’s frustrating. Now I’m being put at blame and they want that I seek therapy because of my anger issues. AIO? What am I doing wrong? When I talk with my friends, we listen to each other without issues..
