mother preferred Lee

Sue outshone her brother Lee He was a druggie, liar, thief, a never-do-well Sue was an occupational therapist a wife, a mother, an outstanding citizen Their mother put Lee on the highest pedestal making up fraudulent accomplishments for him and excuses when he was popped into jail it was always a misunderstanding Sue kept her mouth shut at first But when the lies and preferential treatment became unbearable she finally said something about it Her mother disowned her Losing Lee and his admirer was no real loss for Sue
