If you were written off as the rotten apple in the family compared to your siblings, this story might hit home.
Parents, whether they try hard to hide it or not, clearly play favorites when it comes to their children. For many, if they're not the poster child for a Harvard graduate, they'll feel the judgement radiating off of their parents and that judgement will continue to burn deep within.
When the so-called golden child finally reveals their exterior is simply gilded, the rotten apple is expected to help them rise from the ashes, Phoenix style. That's not how these things work, as shown in the story you're about to read.
This 19-year-old is expected to take a year off of college, which he worked very hard to get to, so he can fund his sister's college education. The kicker: She blew through twenty thousand dollars the summer before school, and now has to work at her university to get the funding she needs to continue her enrollment. After years of the 19-year-old facing harsh criticism from his parents, he finally puts his foot down. Why should he sacrifice his life to help his sister, who had everything handed to her throughout their childhood? Scroll to read.
