After a Long Time, I Finally Knew That Mommy and Daddy Don't Love Me

My parents said they favored daughters over sons.

Because of that, they bought me new dresses while my brother had to wear second-hand clothes and they gave me cake while he only got plain cookies. Even in our family photos, I always got the center spot.

They said, "Girls face too many disadvantages in this world. We spoil you more so you'll grow strong and independent. But your brother is a boy. He needs to learn responsibility."

But then came the day I had a fever and my brother volunteered to wash the dishes to help take care of me.
