Man Refuses to Loan Brother Money After He Embarrasses Him in Front of the Family, Family Favoritism Becomes Clear When They Take His Side

The pain of family favoritism is like a sting of a bee right into your heart, the wound solidifying over time in a way that will remain indelibly in your memories of childhood. To grow up with wistful envy towards a sibling or relative is far from healthy or normal, and ultimately it's the parent's job to make sure all the children are loved and respected equally. No one wants to feel like a second-class citizen in the company of the people who are supposed to make them feel the most loved and accepted unconditionally. But it's more common that you'd think. 

In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) has been dealing with this level of favoritism his whole life. He claims his brother is the favorite, the loud one, and the one with all the offensive jokes up his sleeve. Everyone excuses his behavior, but things go too far for OP when the brother insults and mocks his occupation at a family dinner. Little did the brother know, this will affect the future of their relationship forever.
