I'm excited but upset about my sister visiting again and I don't know what to think

First of all sorry if this is the wrong place I'm not good at that and use this section the most.
Hey guys, so my sister from Scotland is visiting again in summer so she'll be here for my birthday for the first time in years so I'm very happy.
Now here's the problem, I also have an older brother in Scotland too and my family don't get along with him but I do. He's helped me a lot mentally, basically just talking to me about it and honestly just actually listening to me. My family don't like that I talk to him but obviously can't stop me. I got excited when my other sister said my sister might be bringing him in summer until my mam said if she does they aren't coming in.
I don't know why they don't get along but now I'm not as excited for them coming or my birthday in general because I would honestly love to see all my siblings together for once especially my birthday

First, no worries at all, this section is fine for what you posted!!
This makes a lot of sense to feel that sense of disappointment, especially if you got told that it could have been a possibility. For a lot of people, the best part of birthdays is bringing everyone together even the people you don't see often, and it sounds like this could be the case for you too, is that fair to say? It seems like your parents might be prioritising their own wishes instead of yours, which could feel super disheartening when it is meant to be the day to celebrate you. I was wondering if we could explore a bit on why your family don't seem to get along with your brother? Especially when it seems like he has helped you out a lot!
You only need to share what you're comfy with, and thank you for opening up about it this so far, it's great to see
As for my brother I'm not sure I think they had some fight when he was younger and he left. They say he never bothers but he says he gets ignored when he tries so I'm not sure really.
Yeah he has, as I said they don't listen to me and said I was lying when I said I think I have anxiety and depression (for reference mam and dad have both apparently) so he's been who I talk to about it all instead but they don't like it.
If I was younger they'd probably go as far as taking the internet so I can't but I'm 21 so.
I'm just now more anxious about them coming then exited now and I don't like it
