[UPDATE] My [21F] parents [50sF/M] took down all the trophies in the house except for my sister's [22F]
Here’s the original post
So, I spoke to Bebe the night I wrote my post. I pointed out that it was only her trophies on the shelf, and it wasn’t my favorite interaction. I think being away from her for so long definitely changed my perception of her, and I didn’t really notice that she had changed, especially her ego. I showed her each trophy and name plate, and she went, “Well, of course they’re my trophies. When was the last time you got better than bronze?†I asked her if it didn’t upset her that the rest of ours were basically hidden even though we’ve had a lot of dedication to our activities, and she said, “No. Dedication doesn’t make you a winner.†Bebe told me I was wasting her time, told me to “grow up and get over myself.†Then, she went to go hang out with our parents and I think I finally got it.
She was the golden child, and we were the scapegoats. The entire time I’d been there, they’d just been hanging out with Bebe and I was there too. I felt so upset, and admittedly, I self-imploded. Having my own sister that I looked up to and admired treat me like that was just a slap in the face. Our older siblings were so far in age from us that we really got close and relied on each other. Later, I got my parents separated from Bebe, and asked. They pretty much echoed her, telling me I hadn’t earned my spot on the shelf, and that my trophies had gone in the garbage because they didn’t impress anybody the way that Bebe’s did, and said that I was an adult, and I should basically just suck it up. I’ve never been more hurt by anything.
I don’t think I fully realized the scope of it when I was younger, but it clicks now. My game was on the same day as Bebe’s, and they went to hers. They brought snacks to Bebe’s competition, but not mine. Everything for Bebe was hosted at our house, but nothing for the rest of us. I pushed so much of it aside and called all of my suspicions jealousy because my relationship with my sister was more important. But it didn’t matter half as much to her. Her ego has gotten stroked for years on years, and they finally let it all come out and rear its ugly head. I was just flat out offended, especially that they through everything out as though we didn’t matter as much as Bebe. They’d thrown everything out. I was just so mad that I ended up leaving, and my parents yelled at me for “causing drama.â€
I told my siblings about what had happened because I thought they had a right to know that their trophies got removed, and I did try to sound unbiased. It didn’t really work, because my whole family is in a dramatic sinkhole. My younger brother called our parents sobbing, my older sister has been playing passive aggressive and just flat out aggressive phone tag with Bebe, and my little sister was so upset she just called me bawling. I’ve been trying to do damage control, but everyone else is just mad for what’s happened. We all got a text from Bebe that basically read like “I’m sorry I’m better than you, but I deserve our parents’ love more than you†which naturally got everybody riled up again and just caused more problems. This has been basically the worst week of my life and I hate it so... Yeah. There’s my update. My family won’t speak to one another and we’re all in a big dramatic mess.
TL;DR: I figured out that my parents had thrown out all my trophies in favor of my sister’s, and now my family is melting down into a heap of drama and it’s mostly my fault.
