How would u feel when you found out that you mom who passed away for almost 20 years now, and you discovered that from among her 10 children, there were actually 2 of them whom she declared her favorite son and daugther?

That is a tough one. It would really disappoint me that all of my brother's and sister's were not equal in her eyes. I wouldn't get angry, but it would definitely hurt to think that she picked favorites instead of loving each child the same. Every parent should love each child the same and it's sad that some don't and have favorites. I actually go through the same thing with my two sons. Their real father plays favorites with our oldest son, leaving our youngest feeling left out and neglected. He tries so hard to get his attention and it absolutely breaks my heart. That whole side of the family is like that towards him because my oldest looks just like his dad and my youngest looks just like me. Really ticks me off and i really just wanna scream at them and tell them to just stay away from him, but he wants his daddy to love him so bad and will do anything to get his attention, even if it's not so good. bad attention is atleast attention in his eyes. thanks for sharing your story and i'm so sorry you had to find that out. God bless

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, I find it so comforting. For some accident, i found a very ols yellowish note in one of my sister's files while i was in her library looking for something nice to read, i happen to open an old envelope and i saw the note there...and it even extracted a promise from her and my brother, not to save the note, she told them to burn it so, we, the rest of us (there are 10 of us all) will not know about it...sighs! and to think, I thought all the while, our eldest sibling was the favorite child...but...here's hoping, i will find a way not to dwell on this...thanks a lot.

well i'm sure that it was very disturbing to you, but definitely find a way not to dwell on it or let it eat you alive. it's not worth it. just know that you are just as good as the rest of your siblings and that it was wrong of her to pick favorites because you all were her children. things will get better though. just have faith. thanks for BR as well. Good luck and i'll be praying for you. God bless
