[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well maybe your parents are stupid, so I think you should spend some time explaining your feelings—maybe this will clear it all up.

But, if what you’re saying is all true, and they still make this choice—you should feel free to act accordingly and direct them to their favorite child when they need anything.[/quote]

This.  Unequal treatment in such a final way sucks, and it has nothing to do with what the children have accomplished on their own or what their current financial circumstances are.  Which, by the way, could all change with a stroke of misfortunate.  I found out my parents favored my brother in their wills (mom is still alive but won't change what "dad wanted").  It should be freeing in a way because she should go to him for all her needs, but he is a crackpot who has been coddled his entire life.   It just hurts a little more when it was meant to be a permanent, secret surprise after my mother got all she could out of me.  Yes, parents have the legal right to hurt their children through their bequests and DCUM posters will be quick to remind you of how you should be big enough to overlook it and carry on.  See the book [i]Beyond the Grave[/i] for the aftermath to many of these unequal bequests.[/quote]
