I am 48yrs old and have had to deal with this my whole life. My father saw it when I was young but almost lost my mom due to defending me. So I left home as soon as I was out of school to save their marriage. I still deal with it and it hurts as much today as it did when I was young. My sister who is very much favored is going to school to be a councelor and has learned very well how to manipulate every situation. We both have children and now my mother is showing favortism to her children over mine. That's where I have finally decided enough is enough. I refuse to have my child feel as I did growing up. I am so sad. I really appreciated reading this. I am 48yrs old and have had to deal with this my whole life. My father saw it when I was young but almost lost my mom due to defending me.

It is really painful to have the bond with your parents torn by your own blood related brother. I was and still am not praised for any of my accomplishments but that does not keep me from fulfilling my goals in life. I believe the more you mature, the more you think about your own future and notice who or what makes you happy. If your support does not come from home then form stronger bonds with your closest friends and/or family members. They will most likely agree with you. It seems almost useless to try and change anything but I like how this blog talks about how to deal with the problem versus fighting a lost cause. All I can say to anyone going through this is that you are not the only one going through this and the best thing to do is to keep your head up and follow your own aspirations.

It makes sense that bullying by parents and/or siblings can be particularly devastating and the adverse effects last a lifetime. It's a lament that parents aren't trained to make sure they don't do it themselves as well as ensure that siblings don't emotionally or physically mistreat each other. Families are supposed to be the safety net not a source of anxiety and heartache. This piece brings up an aspect of bullying that is not talked about enough.
