‘I loved hearing someone finally call them on it’: 15-year-old son refuses to defend parents from favoritism allegations after years of being treated as second-best to his 17-year-old brother

Favoritism runs deep in the neglected child; we've seen that here time and time again. Nurturing a child should not be a nice-to-have; it should be a requirement—a bare necessity.  You sign up for this when you decide to have a child, and even more so when you have two. You can't kick one to the curb because another came along, or completely disregard your second kid because you find you might get along better with the other.

As you're reading this, you might see your young self in the protagonist. They've been faced with a difficult hand regarding his parents, but he admirably seems optimistic about himself nonetheless. When his parents hold a welcome-home party for his uncle, his uncle ends up calling out his parents on said neglect and favoritism. And, because lying is a sin, he decides to keep his mouth shut and let the allegations fly. Why? Because, well… they're not only allegations. They're the hard, cold truth. Scroll to get the full story on the parents' favoritism tactics.
