A little girl grazed her face badly on the metalled road while saving a younger sibling from getting hurt. Father looked at her and said, "How will we marry you off if you scar your face?"

That was all the father said.
You will never amount to anything…

I clothe and feed you so… should never come out of parents mouth for a child. Or get out of the house knowing well enough the child has no place to go. You will never amount to anything. Your sister is prettier. I have a whole bag full of them.

Silent treatment, more than the constant barrage of hurtful things said, would go on for weeks.

Anything "+ive" I achieved was because of who they were. Anything "-ive" was entirely my doing.
I was made to feel a burden when I needed their help.#UnlovedandUnlovable

It also feels so depressing to see parents venting out their frustrations on kids and verbally/physically abusing them.
You were brought into this world only for the older sibling to not feel lonely growing up

You were a mistake
We would have been able to provide the older sibling with a lot more luxuries if you weren't born
