A 31-year-old woman on Reddit shared how her family mistreated her since birth, favoring her older sister, Mary. Born prematurely with a heart condition, OP was often in and out of the hospital. Her parents constantly reminded her of the financial burden she caused, despite her grandparents helping out.

Mary bullied OP while their parents stood by. After high school, OP moved away with her grandparents’ support and later married Greg, who treated her well. Her parents skipped her wedding, funded by her grandparents, saying they had already spent money on Mary’s.

OP had a high-risk pregnancy that nearly killed her. Doctors warned her not to have more children. After moving back to care for her ailing grandfather, her parents and sister suddenly became kind. At a family dinner, Mary “gifted” OP a letter asking her to be a surrogate. When OP refused, citing health risks, they called her selfish. Redditors supported OP, urging her not to feel guilty.
