[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister by both parents.

I don't know why she's not that great. Like think I'd kind of get it if she was just super great.
Butshes always been a self centered while.
Our lives literally revolved around her and her moods. I remember a Christmas I got a lava lamp and she didn't and she pouted about it. I was 13 and she was 21 and had zero interest in lavs lamps. I didn't either but my parents didn't know or care about my interests do
I've got stories for days 
And it's not like it was a case like pp mentioned where she was born fragile. I was the premature infant.

The only thing I can think of is they hyper focused on her after my parents lost a child in between us and they had trouble bonding with me because my birth triggered memories of the child that passed. Doesn't explain why they ignored their first born and only son though.
This is also a generational curse on both sides of the family. Both of my grandmothers played favorites and my parents were the favorite so it's normal to them.
It's so incredibly damaging to families and to children
It infuriates me when people say it's no big deal.
Thank God my  husband is from a healthy family.

The posters blaming the innocent child are sick, and obviously benefit from being the favored child, who are trying to derail the thread. They want to pretend other sides of the story do not exist. Favoritism is generational, pretending it is not does not make it so.
