Favouritism Confessions

They say parents don’t favor one child over the other, but my mom does. She prefers my big brother over me. I feel so jealous sometimes that I’m scared that maybe it’s all my fault for being ‘difficult’. But I’m not difficult, I go to college and have good grades... whereas my brother is extremely lazy and is thinking about dropping out of college. I feel like everything I do is, in her opinion, bad or questionable, whereas my brother can do no wrong. He treats her like shit, curses her, and he doesn’t help at all around the house. I feel so sad sometimes, I just want her to love me as much as she loves him. She rejects my hugs, but craves my brother’s, even when he’s so mean to her and never lets her hug him. I feel like I’m going crazy. I have no one to talk to about this. When I confronted my mother about all this and her favouritism, she denied it and basically called me crazy.
