Does anyone else have parents or a parent that clearly favors your sibling, treats you like an afterthought, and doesn't do a good job of hiding it? And if so, how do you keep it from effecting you?

I’ve come to realize that it’s not my sibling’s fault. It’s the parent’s fault. I stop it from affecting me as much by becoming pretty independent and distancing myself from them. Don’t get me wrong. It still hurts like hell, but it hurts a little less now.

This is my current response. Sometimes I feel this anger and hurt when a situation comes up where I can clearly see that my sibling is the favorite and I’m the one that needs to earn care. The anger is towards my parent(s) not my sibling and I feel guilty for feeling it but I feel like you shouldn’t have multiple kids if you’re going to treat them like an after thought. I feel used for my resources whereas my sibling just exists and that’s enough. It has really impacted my self confidence
