A 31-year-old female on Reddit revealed her family had mistreated her ever since she came to be.
She has an older sister named Mary, 33, who has always been the favorite in their household and described by their parents as “the golden apple baby.” The Original Poster (OP) explained that she, on the other hand, “was an accident,” having been born prematurely with a heart condition, adding:As if that were not enough, OP’s parents constantly told her that she was draining up their money even though her grandparents always chipped in for shortfalls. Regarding her relationship with her sister, OP revealed Mary never hid the hatred she felt for her and bullied her relentlessly while their parents failed to intervene. Once she graduated high school, she made sure to get away from her by asking their grandparents to pay for her college fees in another state. That was the “best decision” for OP because that is where she met her now-husband Greg, who treats her better. After the couple graduated, they wed, and the bride’s grandparents paid for the wedding as her parents refused, saying they had already spent a lot of money on her sister’s wedding the previous year. OP said her mom and dad even snubbed her wedding, and she and her newly wedded spouse decided to settle in the city where they graduated. From that point, she rarely communicated with her family apart from her grandparents. The couple later welcomed a son together, and OP revealed it was a high-risk pregnancy. Doctors even advised her to terminate because the results could be dire, but the mother and son luckily made it. But she almost died as the condition put a strain on her heart. OP revealed: About a month ago, OP and her husband and child moved back to her hometown as her grandfather’s health started to decline. She wanted to be near him. After moving back there, her mother and sister started acting “nice” toward her. “My mom would ask me how I was doing and tell me how proud she was of me, which is something she never does. My sister would join and do the same. I knew something was up,” said OP.
