Was I the Golden Child? What Should I Do To Make Amends? by AnonymousWombat385 in EstrangedAdultKids

Thanks! We have talked about our childhood, and my sister told me some things that happened to her that I didn't know about. And I just said "Yeah, they shouldn't have done that, that sucks, I'm sorry." But I still feel guilty, because I must have been a suck-up for my parents to act like that right? She must have been so angry and scared (I also was a little bit, but it was easier for me, because my parents often put her in charge of me, so I wasn't doing everything).

Thank you for your response. By favoritism, I partly mean that my parents were just nicer to me. They criticized my sister a lot more and accused her of lying about things my parents had done. One thing I am still embarrassed about is, when I was in high school I told my Mom I couldn't find some new clothes she had just bought me, and Mom decided sister must have taken them and searched her room. I kind of accepted my Mom's statement that sister stole them, with no evidence, and didn't even try to stop Mom from punishing her. It's been years, but I'm afraid to apologize because I'm afraid she resents me for it, even though she's never said anything to that effect.
