@@nehalarafa8260 yeah I guess, I have narcissistic parents who clearly take part in favoritism. I’m kinda the black sheep of the family (there’s 5 kids in total). Everyday and every year I hope they’ll change but they never do. To me it feels like it won’t even matter in 30 years because I won’t be living with them and will be an adult so it wouldn’t mean much.
The notion of a flawless marriage or relationship is a myth. There's no set formula for success; what works for one couple may not work for another. Yet, I've discovered that there's always a way forward, even in the most challenging times. Five years ago, my wife and I encountered significant hurdles in our marriage that nearly led to divorce. Despite the adversity, we managed to weather the storm and emerge from it with our bond renewed and revitalized.
There is a lot of sense in what you just said and I hope mine works the same way too, we are currently separated but I cant live without her, I love her so much. wish I can get her back I can do anything to have her back, we have tried therapy amongst other things
Its always difficult to let someone you love go, but in my case I had the help of a spiritual adviser who saved my marriage from collapsing her name is shelly renee white
Whyyy is it so rare for them to just admit the favouritism ??? It would take Jesus himself to ask for my mum to confess she favoured my brother growing up.
bcs of the guilt ig, they don't want to feel like they were in the wrong so they deny everything, hoping they never have to admit it and never feel guilt
Why is this making me laugh? The whole thing between the guy getting married and his grandmother is freaking hilarious. I still don’t understand why? 😂
@@captain_raviolithe2nd i don’t think it’s funny to laugh at someone who has been experiencing being left out because of their demanding brother i mean like put yourself in his shoes wouldn’t you be disappointed that your childhood got ruined and your wedding almost ruined because your brother wanted to propose at your wedding don’t back this person up if you can’t handle the truth..
He doesn't understand that it's not only in poor taste but it's rude to steal the spotlight from the newly weds special day.. Glad the golden child got a dose of reality
Finally a rare moment where there's actually a mostly happy ending and the golden child actually recognizes where they've been wrong and work to improve themselves
Brother: “I’m gonna boycott your wedding if you don’t allow me to propose at your wedding!” Also brother: “Oh no, boo hoo, I was uninvited from the wedding 😭”
Everytime another update happened I freaking laughed so hard! I loved the part about grandma ranting while the phone laid on the coffee table and no one was listening. Then when he called grandma a fossil, among other things, I thought I was going to die laughing.
nah the brother really had his redemption arc lol.... but mad respect for the brother for actually changing himself and from the changes he made seemingly genuine apology
This story was a breath of fresh air, I had no idea I needed to hear a ‘golden child’ actually own up to their actions and make changes for the better. This story has brightened my day.
The brother was an asshole but is trying to change is a good thing, the parents acknowledging the fact they can’t excuse the behavior they did to OP and just try to change the future is also good
Ik this man. The favorite son is a weenie. He is currently at a college looking for a connection for a job, he still drinks but not as much as before. He threw up in my apartment though after getting to drunk
hes 30!? god damn how is he still acting like that. but like also feeding ducks is like really bad and unhealthy for them. also the fossil has enough problems she shouldn’t be making another 1
Honestly this story feels like the grandmother chose a favorite and because whichever parent is her child WASNT her favorite growing up, they went along with her favoritism trying to still vie for her attention and unconditional love by appeasing her. Grandma sounds like an actual narcissist, or has extreme bpd. OP was right. I thought this man was 21-22 from the way they all acted in the start, not in his 30s! The problem with having a golden child and a scape goat is that it’s a cycle that repeats usually unless you break it like OPs parents, and BOTH the golden and the fall kid get messed up from it. My ex’s mother was like this, she wasn’t the favorite and was always the first to do everything for her father, yet was never the one bragged about or loved beyond his flaws or cared for emotionally. The favorite never has to deal with reality because they were never held accountable and the scape goat either breaks free and cuts content or stays in that role their whole life and recreates it in their own family and keeps the toxic cycle going.
Sounds like a good story. Parents learned their lesson, gram gram got her end of the stick, brothers cleaning up, and OP is having a nice life with his little family. Great
I love how it went from the siding with the golden child to them realizing how bad of parents they’ve been trying to make up for it. Those are true parents right there.
Both my Grandma's had a golden child for each one of their kids' kids. My 2nd oldest brother on my dad's side and my cousin from my dad's sister where the golden children there though the cousin did have siblings, they weren't in the picture due to Aunt losing all custody of them in divorce including the cousin (golden one) that wasn't even biologically related to the husband though he let my grandma and grandpa have custody of him because he didn't want to keep him away from his biological family. Then my mom's side was my oldest cousin (still younger than me but this grandma projected herself on to my cousin cause cousin is smart and beautiful) and my oldest brother. While my dad's mom was loved by all, my mom's mom basically was tolerated for the sake of my Aunt who was the only one who wanted to maintain a real relationship with her. My Mom's Mom passed a year after my Mom (hospital messed up) from cancer and we held no service because despite us loving her, we all knew what she was and that was a Bitch. The example where she died to me as a person was my cousin (the one she favored) didn't go to college and instead got married out of highschool to her highschool sweetheart and wanted to be a SAHM and when she first got pregnant, she miscarried not long after they announced it (something to do with her blood and her husband's not being compatible and her immune system killed the baby) and my Grandma's first word upon hearing about it was "good". My other grandma passed away 15 years ago and while she did have favorites, she didn't go over the top about it though there were trips she took with my brother and cousin that I and my other cousin's never got to do. I understand me because I had issues regarding food (mildly autistic) but the others were normal kids. Despite all the golden child stuff, none of them, turned out to be bad in the end though my 2nd oldest brother is kind of an ass but in a funny way now that I'm not subjugated to it 24/7.As my grandma on my mom's side was generally disliked amongst the grandkids so even though se played favorites, none of us cared as we all like each other and had parents that weren't enabling of the typically golden child behavior.
The reason the brother was supported by one of his parents because they experienced narcissism as a child by their grandmother and so they must have had this instinct to spoil one of their children
Wait wait. Parents taking instant accountability like a few seconds in a story? Can someone tell me if we in the Twilight Zone or not? They don't usually take accountability until it happens to them in the updates
I would literally just say that if you don't drop that idea, then you're not invited, and anyone who supports that idea isn't invited either. Anyone who wants to come and celebrate the wedding is welcome, but anyone who wants to try to make the day about their thing instead isn't invited. If they want to celebrate something else that day, then they can do so separately at their own event.
Honestly the apple never fall far from the tree, The mom got the Narcissism from the grandma and the grandma probably got it from her mom. I guess it really does matter how you’re raised.
At least the parents confessed and didn’t try and make up a story of why he was the favorite, they just said it was their fault and it was wrong. Good parents!
Okay so the main problem is dead, it wasn't so much the parents it was the grandma that tore everyone apart even so much that they don't have anything to say, or do. That woman was evil.
