Oh hun, happy birthday. Please imagine that everyone on this sub is singing it to you and celebrating you. This is not a TYFU OP, you did nothing wrong. Your parents suck, not you. We’d all send you a cake and presents if we knew where to send them. Since we don’t (and you should not give out your address to random internet strangers anyway), please vividly imagine walking into the party that thousands of redditors would attend if we could.

If you make an Amazon wish list we can buy you the stuff you wanted and deserved. Be sure to make your address private and the items can be shipped to you without giving away your address to internet strangers.

Btw: your family sucks and I wish you'll know that your self-worth should never be measured by their behavior and their attitude towards you.

Seriously, I'm a broke as heck uni student and I want to buy this girl her damn hair clips! It's one thing if they don't have money to buy her present, but when it's literally because they spent too much on her sibling, and openly say as much? Plus, as pointed out, they're not expensive.

And the fat-shaming?? Far out. No wonder she has issues with eating and depression. They might think they're helping (in some twisted way), but they're doing the exact opposite. I've dealt with an eating disorder, and that's the kind of thing that would have sent me spiralling right back into it. I'm so angry and sad after reading this. I'm so sorry OP, you have every damn right to be upset. Even if you didn't, they saw you, their CHILD crying because of their awful behaviour, and shamed you for it... that ain't right

I don’t know how to do that and I’d feel guilty cause I don’t feel like I deserve it

Go on Amazon and just look around and instead of adding it to your cart you can create a wish list that’s public then once your done with that. Use the share button copy the link and paste it here! Would love to get your a birthday present. Sorry your family sucks. A lot of people say family over friends but the people you meet over your lifetime who care about you are just as much family as blood.

Bro that’s what they want you to feel, you do deserve so much better. This is incredibly sad and disheartening, I hope that someday the people that will be in your life appreciate you.
