She’s Not Tutoring Her Struggling Little Sister Because Her Mom Clearly Favors Her
A couple of years ago, this 16-year-old girl lost her dad. Now, her mom has always favored her 14-year-old sister ever since the day she was born, but after losing her dad, that only escalated.
While her dad was alive, he noticed how terrible her mom was being to her, and they all attended therapy together for a bit.
During therapy, it was revealed that she’s named after her mom’s grandma, whom her mom was bitter about.
“Why she named me after her, I will never really know,” she explained. “She claimed not to realize at the time.”
“But she at least has some resentment toward me based on that. She also had some PPD when I was born and claimed the early months with me were a very dark time.”
When therapy ended, things didn’t really improve. Adding that to her dad’s passing, things have truly spiraled to the point where her mom sides with her little sister over everything.
Her sister could swipe food off her plate, and she gets punished for screaming at her for it. If she takes food from her sister’s plate in retaliation, she gets punished. There’s no winning for her.
Her mom absolutely will not punish her little sister, no matter what is happening in their household.
Her mom always makes excuses like her sister needs things more than her or is the baby of the family, so she should be left alone.

“My sister loves to gloat that Mom loves her more,” she said. “My sister has told me that Mom has told her she loves her but tolerates me.”
“My sister told me Mom wishes I had died instead of Dad. She told me they talk about that stuff. She also told me after Dad died, Mom pulled all the money from my college savings and put it into hers.”
But anyway, several months ago, her mom was alerted to the fact that her little sister is not doing well in school and isn’t able to get up to speed.
She has always done wonderfully in school, and she could graduate early if her school offered that, but they don’t.
A couple of weeks back, her mom mentioned that she needs to begin tutoring her little sister so that she won’t keep struggling.
“Mom told me I will and it’s my duty to help,” she continued. “I told her to spend money on a tutor for her favorite daughter because I won’t do a thing to help either of them with this.”
“I told her they don’t deserve my help. Mom asked how I could put my sister’s future at risk. I shrugged. Mom called me names and slammed a door when she left me. The tension is high because of this, and my sister is loving it.”
She’s left wondering if it’s wrong of her not to help her sister because her mom clearly favors her.
