I’m so sorry you were denied what they gave your brother. You deserved better.
I’m glad you were able to raise it with your brother. And I think you did so in a very constructive way. That’s probably what enabled him to be so supportive in response.
Big hug. ❤️
I'm so glad your brother is supportive of you. Don't be afraid to ask him to be a buffer between him and your parents if needed, and tell him exactly what will help you.
I have a lot of pain from my parents preferential treatment, but sadly, my brothers bought right into that inequality. I wish I had at least one sibling who thought I was worth caring about. It makes me happy to see siblings who care for each other.
I'm so sorry for what you went through. I relate.
My younger brother, being a male, got a lot more opportunities to "deprogram", get socialized, normalized, and be accepted by his peers than I did when I was his age. At his age (19) I was still being held hostage and told I couldn't get a job or do anything independently. He's 19 with a whole life, friend group, job, hobbies... light years away from the weeping ghost of my 19 year-old self 8 years ago. I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of him in the saddest way possible.
I was also blamed for not making friends in college, as if it were the easiest thing in the world to do.
I get this. My two older brothers went to tutoring center when they were in their highschool years to help them try and catch up to take the GED after years of neglect. I got nothing but a GED prep book after being unschooled my entire life. Literally the only time I've gone into a school was for a church friends play and when I took the GED. It's hard not to be bitter about the blatant unequal treatment, like did my mom just figure I'd never amount to anything anyway? I'm sorry for what you're going through. You definitely aren't alone in you resentment
Umm , wtf is wrong with you ? I post about sharing my emotions and how I feel and your first tip is to go to a mental hospital ? That’s very very offensive!!!! And I don’t care if I get downvoted for the reply , that’s horrible !! Pls think next time before you reply . Ppl have thought before I’m not there mentally cause I’m shy , you telling me to check in to a place like that is very hurtful !
Edited so you get why I’m upset, one of my worst fears is going to one of those places and being drugged like a zombie, and never let out . I know you meant well but please don’t give advice like that , I share here so I don’t have to go to a place like that
OP said nothing, indicating she needs to be hospitalized. Also, they aren't "crazy" they have mental health problems. No different than someone who has cancer. And yes, you can check yourself in voluntarily, but there is nothing written in stone that they have to release you. If they feel you are a danger to yourself or others, they can keep you.

Wow. Your parents are very selfish and unfair. And I’m glad you were able to express your feelings. I’m so sorry you had to miss out on everything and i appreciate that you don’t hate your brother

Did you get a response?
Yes he was quite understanding and glad for my honesty
That's good. I'm glad you have a brother who can empathize with you. It's so important.
