    I’m the oldest of 6, so I got everything first. Mostly. Do you really feel like you weren’t the favourite? I know parents sometimes have a favourite, but mine never treated any of us differently. Except for the one sib born a girl, they were pampered af.

        That really sucks. Lay it on me if you want. My childhood wasn’t great my mum was really abusive for most of it, but despite that I always knew I was loved. Not to excuse her actions, but there was a lineage of pain and abuse. She sought help, and got better at dealing with her own trauma, which made my younger siblings’ early years easier.

        I’m sorry you didn’t get the love and care you needed.
