The real issue here is the parents, they’re placing a heavy burden on the oldest and completely writing out the youngest. I can really sympathize with both brothers as the oldest sister in a Hispanic household who excels and is so many things for my parents. I can really see my own home dynamic in this especially when our youngest struggles in school so she pushes herself with soccer. These two chapters hit hard and I’ve never related to a quote more, “My parents did love me but it was complicated.. Too vague to rebel against, but too heavy to live up to their expectations”
