EP 57: Loved Differently, Hurt Deeply

Genesis 37 opens with a coat: a gift from a father that says more than fabric ever should. Jacob's obvious favoritism toward Joseph, and Joseph's own dreams of ruling over his brothers, light a fuse that's been burning since the day he was born the favorite. This episode looks at what happens inside a family when one child is set apart, deliberately or not, and how quickly love that isn't shared evenly curdles into resentment. We'll talk about favoritism, sibling rivalry, and the slow build from envy to estrangement and what it means for the families we're raising and the siblings we're still learning to love.
