think what hurts the most is when you know your parents love you, but somehow you still find yourself questioning whether that love is the same. It’s not about hating your brother or wanting less for him; it’s about wanting to feel equally valued, heard, and understood in your own home. Sometimes, the people who make a family look perfect from the outside are the very people who don’t realise how lonely someone in that family feels. And honestly, daughters shouldn’t have to keep explaining why they deserve the same freedom, trust, and understanding that their brothers receive so naturally. You can love your family deeply and still be hurt by the way they treat you. Both feelings can exist together.
