Well, considering the level of abuse Denethor really enacts upon Faramir, I should hope not. I get it if you're worrying you're the favorite child, but if you're making this comparison, you're talking about open contempt for your sister and adulation for you.

:(

[(Anonymous)]

also?

Unless you and your sis are hirsute, your dad needs glasses.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel bad for laughing at this XD

[elaminator]

...Uh, lets hope your father doesn't go quite as far as Denethor with the whole favorite thing. If this is just a suspicion and your dad has never been openly hateful towards your sister or acted more favorably to you then it probably isn't as bad as all that. (Now maybe he does secretly like you more, or maybe you're just misunderstanding things. If he does favor you that sucks a lot, but I don't see how you can do anything about it either. Just...don't mention it to your sister.)

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry for both you and your sister, OP. I hope you can be the Boromir to her Faramir and love her as she deserves!

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think this is really a fandom secret, just a call for help. So here's my "advise": talk to your dad. Seriously. Don't keep this a secret and confront him about how he neglects your sister.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm in the same situation. Only the favorite child my mother miscarried when she was 8 month's along. I hear 'well if your brother had lived' every time I do something she doesn't like or mess up. He's perfect in her eyes. And it's 'my fault' she miscarried. Apparently, my two year old self was so horrible I killed my unborn brother.

I think if someone showed up and asked for my life in trade for his, she'd take them up on it without a second thought.

[(Anonymous)]

Holy shit, OP. Your mom sounds like a really toxic presence in your life.

[(Anonymous)]

*hugs*

I know that misscarrying can be awful for a woman but taking it out on a child that can't understand is just wrong. and guilt-tripping someone for things they did before they had fully permanent memory-ability (idk what to call it but most people can't remember stuff they did at two without hypnosis I believe)is flat out psychological abuse.

[(Anonymous)]

((((hugs))))

I'm so sorry, anon. I hope you can get out of there soon - and I know it's easy to believe her because she's your mother, but remember: your brother would have been his own person, NOT this fairy-tale perfect child. NOBODY could ever be that perfect and never ever do something stupid or disappointing to their parent(s).

Your mother needs help. But guess what? So do you. What's more, you DESERVE to be helped (and loved and happy). Don't be afraid to look for a way out. Save yourself.

Strange how after not checking F!S for months, the minute I come back and find a secret that resonates so strongly with me. I agree with one of the above posters. Tell your father how this is making you feel. A situation where there is one golden and one unfavored child can end up becoming toxic. Since most parents do love both their kids, they can be blinded as to how bad it gets comparing siblings all the time. Blunt honesty can help them to back off.

Even if it doesn't work, just show your sister a lot of love and support. Knowing that your sibling is there to have your back can mean a world of difference to someone doesn't feel loved.

I had a relatively casual friend whom I now avoid as much as possible. Because all our conversations started to go like this:

Him: "Did you ever watch [show]?"
Me: "No, I didn't like the premise so I'm not interested in getting into it*
Him: *talks solidly about the plots and characters of [show] for forty minutes, in the course of which it becomes very clear he has quite literally forgotten I said I didn't it, let alone that I wasn't interested in it.*

And:

Him: *reads of a disaster that has killed several people. Laughs*
Me: ...what?
Him: *quotes twenty-five-year-old book he has no reason to assume I've read.*
Me: ...what?
Him: *clarifies the disaster is reminiscent of the book in some way*
Me: It's not very funny though? People died.
Him: Oh, I suppose so.


And I'm pretty fucking geeky. I make costumes for action figures, for heaven's sake. But if every conversation comes back to the same thing, it may well not be healthy and it certainly isn't fun for anyone else.

So yeah I'm slightly boggled by all the people denying the OP could possibly have a point. Zie MIGHT be overreacting, but why assume that?

Oops, wrong secret, sorry.
