Is your mom afraid and just hoping everyone gets along?

Or is it the first born male favoritism my mom has as well?

my sister would and absolutely has pointed to that for a long while but there's also at least 2 other big factors

One being she's just an absolutely pure-blooded denialist who does not want to hear the bad will actively choose to ignore it to continue her fantasy. So many times with gbro when we try to talk about what he's doing she'll go "that's enough now i don't wanna hear it it's upsetting" and if you press her on it she'll get angry. She just wants it all entirely out of mind.

But the other thing is her high status fantasy. Image is everything to my mom, absolutely needs all her relatives and friends to think a perfect and well-off family and that goes hand-in-hand with hiding our problems under the rug and putting on a show. Then regarding gbro specifically he's an absolute star-child just for the simple fact that he's a PhD student she can brag about, ignoring the fact he's only just stuck in school because he doesn't know how to do anything else and he's never had any goals for what he actually wants to do (and through COVID era he's been absolutely fucking around and endangering his degree to the point that the family isn't actually sure if he's ever completing it). But that doesn't matter so long as she can just describe him as a PhD student that's all the cred she needs.

She also uses that to take his word over ours even knowing how completely out of his field he goes and his hatred of feminism or whatever the else. She once came up to me asking who Jordan Peterson is (because he conservative ass partner was recommending him and got his book but mom was getting creepy vibes from the videos). I explained to him how much he rails against women's rights and how he literally gained notoriety for fighting against the protection of trans rights and so my mom goes yeah that's the kind of vibe I was getting from him. But then gbro's there and asks for him to read the stupid book and give her his "academic" opinion "as a PhD student", not giving the slightest of shits that gbro is literally the target demographic for his shit. Me and gsis were both calling it out but nah mom needs to hear the academic's take! She does that shit all the bloody time because she's always just been a class elitist obsessed with status.

There's also one other bit about him being diagnosed with Aspergers so he just gets endless amounts of leeway and sympathy. Doing anything "weird" that's all just a fault of his disorder and he can't help it nor can she punish him for it or hold him accountable for anything. Which then breeds her lifelong cycle of enabling all the heinous shit he's been doing from high school to now that's what actually led him into this entitled asshole who thinks he's entitled anything and everything he wants with less than zero regard for anybody else but rather fuck anyone who gets in my way or doesn't like me doing what I want.
