After years of me accusing my mum of treating my brorget and I differently she's admitted that she has indeed always had a favourite and it was him. Not only that she says says she prefers my eldest son to my other DC ,(this was very very obvious to anyone anyway).
My dad who has always treated me and my Brother the same shocked me by saying he prefers my son's personality.
My mum says it's normal to have a favourite.
It's just deeply saddened me and the fact that I grewt up knowing I was not the preferred child had left my self esteem in pieces. I want to move on from it and at the age of 30!, to start believing in myself more because I can't blame my parents for it forever but where do I begin?
how do i have more confidence in myself knowing that for God knows what reason, I'll never be good enough for my mother?
she's very blatant in how she favours my son and she won't ever change, if I try to challenge her she'll say things like this is why I don't like you you're so aggressive, so if rather just ignore it and not let it bother me anymore.
