[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 719586, member: 1233"] Oh, the oldest boy is always the golden child. My brother was well on the road to jail but he was the golden child anyway. Heck, he was on the way to a lengthy prison sentence at one point, but got a deal with rehab instead. It was all my fault for not telling my folks he had a drinking problem. Gee, I had been telling them since he was 12. They grounded me for tattling, or for lying, or any other excuse they could brush it off as. Even when the cops brought him home drunk at 16 and I told them, "see, I wasn't making it up", they got mad at me. I was well behaved and changed any wrong behavior if they got upset with me. It was easier to be upset with me than with him. He ignored them or yelled back. So they had screaming fights and then ignored the bad behavior. Then they bought a property so he would have a place to live with low rent where he couldn't be kicked out. They knew my husband and I would always pay our rent, so they never bothered to help us find a place. We won't be homeless. They had a fit when grad school took 3 months longer than my husband expected due to a class being cancelled though my husband could not have controlled it in any way. My brother has been in grad school for almost 7 years now. (My folks paid for both, though we did not ask for it, I did just learn it was a request of my grandmother's will.) Hubby was in school for 2 years, 3 months. And that last 3 months was apparently a huge thing to ask. But the 7 years my parents have supported my brother is not. So yes, my brother is the great golden child. So is my oldest son. They offered to raise him for me many times after he was born. For many reasons. We moved him to their house only because he became to dangerous to keep at our home. I would not have given up my child for any other reason. They thought I was exaggerating, he couldn't be that bad. Susie always over dramatizes things. They called me 6 weeks later with a HUGE apology. They could not believe how bad things were. They had seen him be violent and had gotten back in his face when he thought he could get in theirs. [/QUOTE]
