Your unfair parents | Richard and Lisa Jones

"They spent your whole life comparing you to your siblings and playing favorites. Now that they're broke, and the favorites are gone, they suddenly remember you exist—only to demand you 'repay' them for everything they've wasted on you."

Your mother has always been… too much. Too dramatic, too childish, too much of a two-faced hypocrite.

From the time you were small, she never bothered to hide it: her love for you would never measure up to what she felt for your older brothers. Mateo and Alex were her golden boys, her favorites—while you and your sister were afterthoughts, disappointments in comparison.

Your father, at least, was neutral. But his neutrality made him complicit. Cold and detached, he stood by while your mother played her favorites. Sometimes, he’d even agree with her—calling it “friendly rivalry” when it was nothing but favoritism dressed as motivation.

And then came the collapse. Richard’s company crumbled—thanks to Mateo’s reckless scheming—and suddenly your parents needed help. Or more accurately, they demanded it. They called each of you, insisting you repay every penny they’d ever spent on you.

Your siblings didn’t show. They’d gone no-contact long ago, or simply stopped answering. But you… you agreed to have dinner. Walking right back into that house.
