My boyfriend is Matilda... literally 😳

I met my boyfriend around two years ago. During my time visiting him, I quickly realized he was often ignored (as so were his other 4 brothers) meanwhile the girls in his family were almost always put on a pedestal. I feel so bad for him because in his bio family consisting of him and two sisters, they always have gotten so much more than him. He says it’s ok and he’s used to it but I see saddens in his eyes... I know it bothers him that

- when he was 16, he BEGGED his mom for driving lessons but never got them. Then, once his sister turned 15, SHE got those same lessons even though she didn’t even want to attend and often skipped out on them.

- although he literally stayed in his own corner growing up and caused little issues, his sister who, at 14, began to drink, steal money from his moms purse, take both their parents cars out for joy rides, threatened them with running away because they wouldn’t give her more money, had unprotected sex despite their pleas to get her on birth control, and constantly had random teen runaways eat their parents food all the time and sleep over...

- ... it was HER who got a brand new ps4 (he asked for one and his mom sold it at a pawn shop 2 months later), a brand new iPhone 11, a car PAID IN CASH $4k that she crashed two weeks later and didn’t think it was a “big deal”, and here is a kicker.....

- she got PREGNANT at 16 by a meth-head boyfriend... the kid is fine, but she literally does not give a shit that her parents are footing the bill (and is totally ok with being on public assistance) and thinks having a baby is “no big deal” (she didn’t understand why people were excited about the baby..).

His family overall aren’t terrible, neither are his sisters. But I just wish they’d see how much hurt they cause him because he sees all of this happening and yet none of his accomplishments are even noticed 😞 it’s not about the money or stuff... but about the principle that his mom barely knows anything about him and will yell and berate him if he asks for help but is super accommodating to a kid that should have been punished and not praised all these years...
