[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re the favorite, you have a lot of unearned privilege.  Sit with that [/quote]

Snort.  My mom was not really great to any of us- three kids before 30, short temper, yelled a lot.  Not physically abusive beyond occasional spanking but I was always wary of setting her off.  I went away to college, my sister didn't take on debt like I did and went to the local commuter school while living at home.  Which was wise but it meant living with my parents longer, and apparently once I was gone my mom would talk about me in glowing terms all the time.  Absence makes the heart grow fonder?  But I don't feel like I got anything out of being the favorite besides a resentful sister, and I still don't like to be around my mom for extened periods of time because she can be so toxic and negative.[/quote]
My sister says this sort of nonsense, justifying it by saying that our parents weren't good to her either.  But it's a whole different level.  She just never paid attention because she's so caught up with herself.[/quote]

I'm not justifying anything.  Like I said, I left.  I took myself out of the situation, can't control my mom's behavior, and am not taking responsibility for her behavior.  Sorry not sorry.  Like what do you actually exepct of your sister?  Grovelling? Reparations?[/quote]
