I’m sorry if there’s any mistakes or if I’m being too vague in some parts it’s currently 5:30 am in England and I haven’t slept.

We grew up with a single mom who was terrible to us (5 siblings). My eldest Amelia sister is 5 years older than me and she had the abuse worse than all of us, my mom favoured me over all my siblings I think it’s because I look a lot like her and the rest look like my late father who she HATED. I always tried my best to be close to Amelia growing up because I admired her a lot but she held a lot of hostility towards me, for example i was mom’s favourite but I still got beat when I disobeyed but my sister would always jump to defend our other siblings but when I was beat she just ignored it. I gave up trying to to be friends with her when I was 11 because I realised she hated me and the more I tried the more I pushed her away. When Amelia was 18 she immediately moved out and that same year my mom got arrested and our aunt got custody of us. Amelia would vid all the time and hang out with everyone but she completely ignored me pretending I didn’t exist.

We haven’t spoke at all since I moved out of my aunts. I’m now 25 and she’s 30. My husband and I been having issues conceiving and I’ve been desperately trying to get pregnant, a little while ago I was able to get pregnant however I recently miscarried. Today I was invited to a family dinner as we haven’t seen each other in a long time, of course my sister was there and she just ignored me as usual. My family were asking about my pregnancy and I revealed that we miscarried a few days prior and I didn’t want to talk about it any longer, my sister just laughed and said that it was karma for being mom’s golden child and I probably would’ve been a shitty mom anyway, because of her saying that the rest of the dinner was extremely awkward and no one really spoke after that. I’m just hurt because I tried my best to be a good sister to her, there were times when we were young that when Amelia was about to get beat for something I’d say it was me and take the beating for her. I tried so fucking hard but nothing I did was good enough. I know that she obviously has trauma from our disgrace of a mother but I don’t know why she was willing to protect our siblings but not me, they all have inside jokes with her and when I just awkwardly laugh because I don’t want to sit there like a statue she just says to me “why are you laughing you don’t even know what we’re talking about” then she’ll roll her eyes and carry on with her conversation. In school when people talked bad about her I made sure to defend her like my life depended on it but she openly talked shit about me to all my friends but luckily I had a lot so eventhough some turned on me a lot still talked to me and understood.
