My story of injustice has to do with a family who lives injustice for more than 30 years. A family is supposed to be about love, respect, union and acceptance. In my opinion family is the most important thing in the world because nothing compares to that special connection with one another. Unlike this story about a mom who decides to make such a big difference in her home, disrespecting each child when she prefers one over the others, when she treats one like an only child with all the attentions none of her siblings had.
All six siblings had a good childhood and a concept of family. Both parents tried to give them the best they could, they all loved and protect each other. but as time passed and they grew up, they notice a strange behavior from their mother to one of their siblings; favoritism. They tried to talk to their mother about this but she always found an excuse to defend her daughter which placed he in a very high pedestal. The mother never accepted her bad behavior because she didn’t see anything wrong with it. To her eyes all her children were equally important for her.
Years later, when her favorite daughter had formed a beautiful family she started adopting a bad habit like stealing. She would steal little amounts and buy the rest which is unconceivable because everything was given to her so she was never in the need to do this but somehow it was not enough for her. It got to the point were she induced her own mother to commit this crime with her. the mother blind by the “love” witness what her daughter did and still supported her actions. but one day her daughter decided take this another level so she tried stealing skin care products from a recognized store and both mother and daughter almost went to jail for that.
When things finally got resolved the mother justified her acts as usual but what surprised me the most is that even after all that experience, she was not able to see and recognize this huge mistake she made believing and encouraging everything her daughter wanted. And that what happened could’ve had cost her her life, and that is not love. When you love someone especially if it is your child you do not have those kinds of behaviors, it is the opposite you try to correct them and assume the consequences of their acts so they can learn and grow from that experience.
Arguments and Conclusion

Your story was very deep and I appreciate you sharing it. It’s sad when sometimes the love for someone can cause us to be blind to their actions like how the mom was to her daughter’s stealing habits. It surprised me that even though they got caught and were punished the mother still felt her daughters’ actions had nothing to do with her parenting. Her daughter was her responsibility and her lack of parenting was the injustice. Thanks for the story.
