Kinda different, but my parents decided to pit my sibling and I against each other in everything so we flip flopped between golden child and black sheep in diff aspects of our lives till we got super resentful of each other even though we were inseparable as children. Thank god sometime around end of high school/first yr of college we both went through some serious introspection and came to the conclusion that it was bullshit what our parents did and attaching our worth to what they said, and cut them out of our lives as much as possible. Did wonders for our mental health and our relationship fr
I felt like that too, seeing the parent you've always wanted approval and acknowledge of easily giving their love to their golden child while you're left with nothing, not even a crumb. I cried like that too for a moment but after realizing my father wasn't worth it, I picked myself up and moved on.
