A listener shared her hurt after her sister failed to thank her in her graduation speech, despite the sacrifices she made to help her complete her studies.
She explained how she quickly stepped into the role of a deputy parent, often sending her sister money to ease the struggles of varsity life. Now that her sister has graduated, she feels overlooked and unappreciated.
Writing to The Best T in the City with Tbose, Anonymous asks if she is wrong to feel this way.
“Uncle T, during my sister’s graduation speech a few weeks ago, she thanked almost everyone – but she never mentioned me. At first, I tried to brush it off, consoling myself that maybe she would realise later and apologise. But nothing. I’ve wanted to move forward, yet I still feel really hurt.
“When I started working, I became a kind of deputy parent – sending her money without her even asking, because I knew the struggles of being in varsity on a tight budget. Whenever she needed anything, she could always rely on me.
“So for her to thank everyone else – even neighbours and an old school friend who barely helped her – and not even mention me, left me feeling hollow. I keep wondering: am I wrong for expecting a thank you from her? Maybe it’s just what siblings do for each other, and I shouldn’t take it personally. But I can’t shake off how easily she forgot me. I want to ask her about it, but before I do, am I being unfair and entitled? What could be my blind spot here?”
