[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a 7 year old senses this much favoritism it's probably because she's sensing OP's frustration with her mother. It didn't happen organically. [/quote] I don’t think it’s fair to try to blame me for my mom’s behavior. I have tried to be as neutral as humanly possible in this situation. I sincerely would love for my DC to have the relationship with my mom that I didn’t get to have.[/quote] Your DC has already been hurt. Neutrality is not appropriate. You need to be honest with your DC and just say, “I know, honey, my mom can be a really insensitive jerk. When I was a child, she always very clearly favored Aunt Linda over me and it caused me a lot of pain. I see her hurting you now and I hate it. I’m sorry she can’t see how hurtful she is. You are wonderful and it’s sad that she is the way she is. We don’t have to spend much time with her. I don’t want her to hurt you the way she hurt me.”[/quote]
