Starved by My Mother The Sister She Chose Over Me

After I started college, my mother only ever loaded money onto my campus meal card. Beyond that, I didn't have a single dollar in cash.

"Students just need to eat," she'd said. "Give them money and they'll go down the wrong path."

So I had no social life, no entertainment. When I got sick and needed medicine, I had to trade cartons of milk from the dining hall to get cash from classmates.

I thought she was just afraid I'd waste money. Then I saw the WhatsApp transfer records on my sister's phone.

"Baby, here's money for that dress."

"Here's for karaoke with your friends."
