When Love Isn't Fair

Family relationships can create deep wounds that shape how we navigate all future relationships. While we expect families to provide unconditional love, the reality is that family dynamics often involve uneven love distribution, creating lasting patterns. The story of Joseph and his brothers illustrates how favoritism in families can wound children even when love exists. These early experiences become the soil that shapes our ability to trust, commit, and show up in relationships. Healing requires recognizing these patterns and establishing healthy boundaries. We can love family members while limiting their influence and breaking cycles that weren't our fault but have become our responsibility to heal.
