I would sit down and hjave a conversation with him - mention the specifc comments about your mum's jewellry, say that you happened to see the files with the names of your siblings but nothing similar for you (stress, assuming that it is true, that you did not open or read any of them, but that you did notice that he appeared to have left you out)

Ask him.
You say that his not buying drinks changes after you mentioned it, perhaps this will change too.

You could ask whether you have done anything to upset him or to make him think you don't want a relationship with him - it's possible that in hs mind, you have done something to make him feel you don't want that kind of close relationship with him.

You could also talk to you mum, perhaps separately, to ask her if she knows whay he reats you differently.

I feel similar OP, for different reasons.

Both my parents forget I exist at times. It is a really long and complicated story and I doubt it would appear believable to some - not something I want on an open forum but I do get where you are coming from
