[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family also has a biased dynamic, though with 4 kids so it's a bit more complicated.  The hardest part is that even when I tried to talk about it, everyone claimed that it was all in my head.  It's not.  Only my other disfavored sister recognizes the craziness and we discuss it.  It helped a lot when I had kids and realized that it's just terrible parenting.  My parents should know better.

Now I am much more proactive about managing our interactions.  I try to avoid socializing with the whole family at once because the unhealthy dynamic is most obvious when we're all in one place.  I also no longer want to know anything about financial assistance or gifts to the favored siblings.  Don't tell me.  It's not my business and does nothing but make me upset.  If it was me, I'd think about what is making you upset and cut those interactions out of your life.  I'd also not be afraid to stand up for yourself if someone says something unfair about you in your presence.  There's no reason to let yourself be shat upon.  It's not like you have anything to lose if they're already being terrible to you.[/quote]

Here’s the kicker:

Life isn’t equal.

No one can make you “upset” over inequalities, save for you

You can cut your parents and siblings out of your life, but most people don’t understand the actual consequence of that.
