Sasuke always looked up to his big brother, but at the same time envied him for his genius-ness. He longed for the attention of his father who was too busy concentrating on Itachi. He worked hard, and knew it was nearly impossible to follow in Itachi's footsteps, still he tried for the sake of earning respect from his father and the Uchiha Clan.
Ultimately he got that respect, it was like a dream went fulfilled. At the same time though, he saw Itachi changing. And not in a good way, everytime Itachi and his father were in the same area, he could feel the tension hanging in the air. Troubled by this change, but still pleased by the sudden focus of his father from Itachi to him, he dismissed those doubtful thoughts.
Until one day, he stayed out late to train extra hard. After all, he wanted to surpass Itachi, his older brother. That was his ultimate goal, even then. When he returned home though, he saw all his family members dead on the ground. A sudden panic rushed through him: "Is this for real? Is this some kind of Genjutsu?". Still in denial, he ran to his parents' room. Suddenly stopping in front of the door. What would happen when he opens that door? Would his life change forever? So scared of that thought, he could barely raise his hand.
In the end, he regretted that decision for the rest of his life. For what he has seen, doesn't deserve anyone, especially a child. Seeing his parents' bloodstained corpses, he tried to move forward, whimpering. ... Through the darkness he saw somebody else. Was it the murderer? Well, he wasn't wrong in thinking that. It was his beloved brother though. Full of relief, a flicker of hope started to build again in his heart.
After all, this is Itachi. His caring brother who was so strong, he could easily beat anyone in Konoha, including the murderer. ... To his surprise though, he discovered an awful truth. Itachi is the murderer.
He ran and ran and ran~. Continue to run for his life, frightened by his caring brother who suddenly turned into a cold-blooded killer.
To no avail, Itachi stood there waiting for him.
One sentence changed his life forever. "If you want to kill me... curse me! Hate me!..." ... And he did. In the end, he unconsciously followed his brothers' advice. From that day onward, the path to Revenge opened to him.

Well, I could write more but that would be too much.
But I hope I could at least let some of you relate on how he felt.
I'm not a Sasuketard.
Since I like actually every character from Naruto, no make that every manga I read. Though there are some exceptions.
