‘It doesn’t feel like I was ever truly raised, more like survived’: Neglected daughter refuses to be ‘aging’ mother's primary caregiver after years of being treated like her least favorite child

When you grow up with siblings, it's difficult to refrain from participating in the unavoidable favoritism contest.

Many parents often set a toxic precedent early in their children's lives that makes them feel like they're less than them because they lack the traits their siblings possess. As a result, it's even more difficult not to feel like you're always in last place. Forgiving this type of behavior from a parent is not easy, but it is absolutely necessary for your peace of mind.

Even when you manage to get away from the toxicity, it has a funny way of finding you again. The woman in this next story was neglected by her mother for most of her life. Now that her mother is getting a bit older, the woman is expected to be her mother's primary caregiver. Fortunately, the woman decides to nip that expectation in the bud — but her siblings disagree with her decision. Instead of giving in, she puts her foot down once more to send a message.
