My mom always said she loved me the same way, but this is what she did to me.

As painful as it may sound, but difference Parents sometimes give one child more love and attention than the other. If, being young, children notice this, but remain silent, then in adulthood this leads to the rupture of close family ties.



The difference between the children of Svetlana was the eldest child in an ordinary rural family, where all the attention of parents was directed to the younger brother Lesha. Even after the death of his father, nothing changed: the mother spoiled her son more, and the daughter got for unwashed dishes. The girl sometimes felt hurt to tears, but she could not do anything about it.



Therefore, when she was 18 years old, Svetlana married and without regret left her father’s home. A year later, she gave birth to a daughter and hoped that her life would change for the better, but she made the wrong choice with her husband. He was a great lover of wetting his throat and even raised his hand on his wife.

Each time the husband swore that this would never happen again and Svetlana forgave him. The woman lived in such a nightmare for ten years, until her patience ran out, and she with her daughter in her arms did not return to her mother.



Brother Alexey at that time already got a good job, safely got a family and moved to live in the city. The mother could not rejoice in her son’s success. And when he came to his parents' house to stay, the old lady did not know where to sit the guest. She did not forget the generous guests to pass on to his children, although Svetkin’s daughter from her grandmother only got a few candy.

When everyone gathered in the living room, Svetlana stood by the stove, prepared a festive dinner and set the table – it was taken for granted by her relatives. Then the guests left and she washed the dishes and cleaned the house. As her mother said, Alexey is a guest, and Svetlana is the hostess. Therefore, the young woman did not resent, but tried to please everyone and show hospitality.

Who is right and who is to blame Svetlana began to gradually improve life: in the crumbling house for his money made repairs, put it in order and equipped the garden plot. For the first time in many years, the courtyard acquired a decent appearance, but the daughter did not expect gratitude from her mother.



Lesha’s efforts were “appreciated.” Before she had time to feel like a mistress, her brother once said: “Do you think you will get the house?” No, we'll split it evenly! The mother then confirmed that the difference between the children does not see and the whole household after her death should be divided in half. Aleksey already had an apartment and a car. And Svetlana spent all her own money on repairing her father’s old house.



Then the sister realized that she needed to think about her own housing, and not invest in what she would not own. Drying away her tears, she set a goal: whatever it cost her - to buy an apartment in the city! The woman worked tirelessly, but she achieved her own. After 10 years, she became the owner of a one-room apartment, in which she moved with her daughter.



Now their elderly mother was left alone to wait for one of the children to visit her. Alexey arrives in the village by car, but his sister does not invite him. And Svetlana herself is not eager to meet again with her brother, so she gets to her mother by bus. They rarely call, and their conversation is “about nothing”, because relatives are much distant from each other.

And the mother can not understand why the relationship between relatives deteriorated. She is sure that she raised both children correctly and loves them equally. But is that true?

Who do you think is wrong in this situation?
