Lookback: Throughout childhood

“Raised my brother first”

My parents neglected me due to my brother's needs, causing me to develop health issues and a phobia of food. I'm still struggling with the consequences today.

What I wish I knew
"They prioritized my brother's needs over mine, and I wish I had known that I deserved better care."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't neglect your younger sibling's needs, as it can lead to long-term emotional and physical harm."
