My mother.
I love her.
She's good to me.
She's taught me everything I know.
But she can be so wrong.
She makes it clear to us that she has a favourite child.
My sister has always been coddled, and sheltered.
She's always gotten off far easier than me and my oldest sister.
But recently it's been getting very apparent.
My mother is now actually telling her that she's her favourite.
She tells me to suck in my gut, fix my hair, etc.
But never ever her favourite.
Don't want to hurt her feelings.
It hurts to know that my own mother is choosing favourites.
It feels as if she's simply saying to me,
"I don't love you as much as your sister."
