Unfortunately, however, not all moms and dads make it clear that they dont have afavoritechild.
Below, youll find the full story, as well as a conversation between the author andBored Panda.
But whats even worse is when parents decide to play favorites amongst their own children.
My girlfriend inspired me to share it.
She read a lot of stories and saw the genuine support and great advice people gave.
So she shared the idea with me to share the story.
The OP also says that there havent been any major updates since he made the post.
However, my brother called, and he was pretty depressed, the author continued.
[He] said he didnt realize what he was doing, and he regrets treating Jack like that.
He loves both of his sons.
I have shown concern before, but they didnt listen at first.
I believe my brother was unaware of the fact that their actions were affecting Jack this much.
The uncle noted that he blames his sister-in-law more than his brother.
But my SIL always mentioned that, because of Jack, she couldnt enjoy her Uni life.
She couldnt go to parties or tours.
So it was pretty obvious that she regretted having Jack at that age.
Years of trauma and bad incidents usually build up.
So I just wanted to tell people my story without the fear of revealing my or my familys identity.
But I was really surprised to see people from all kinds of backgrounds showing their support.
Next, the author wanted to address some of the assumptions that readers made about his story.
The worst thing is judging someone elses cultures rules by your cultures rules, he shared.
Why havent we had the meeting yet?
Every family member is valuable to us.
Again, cultural difference, the author shared.
But in our culture, the cops are only called when a serious crime/law breaking happens.
Police coming to your home is seen as a shameful act here.
Because most problems get solved within family meetings.
Even elderly neighbors or respected people of thecommunity, like teachers, are also called, the uncle explained.
Everyone gets to talk and then comes to a solution.
And all will come up with the best course of action, the author shared.
We believe in solving issues within ourselves without calling authorities.
