Oh Rodrigo…..all the scarring we live with as the unfavored or unloved child. Sigh! I was the third child after two boys. According to my mom she wanted a girl, but she favored the boy child. So not sure about her reasons. I thought it was cop out of an unwanted pregnancy. Too bad for her I turned out to be the opposite of a prototype she had envisioned for a daughter. It didn’t help our relationship. After years of the yearning, I’ve given into the fact that she is limited in her ability to love. Need to find peace with that in my lifetime.
