Because of my health issues, my parents keep my son often, but my daughter gets left out.
I’m a single mother of two children, an 8-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son. My daughter’s father is involved; my son’s father is not. I was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension when my daughter was born and given two weeks to live. My condition has markedly improved, and I am on the best treatment there is for it.
The problem is, my mother blatantly favors my son over my daughter. Last year, she planned a Disney cruise for only herself, my son and me. I understand life is not 100% fair, but her favoritism goes beyond just tickets and trips. It’s everything from gifts and attention to tone of voice and how many pictures are on the wall. Everyone around us sees it, especially my daughter. Please advise.I’ll BET your daughter notices it! The person who can put a stop to it is you.
Jenny messaged me recently on social media. We shared some photos and talked about the past and present. She said she has her own place and is doing well. I suggested that maybe I’d stop by one night after work. She said she’d like that and sent me her phone number to set up the date and time.
