For years, my younger sister Mia stole everything from Brit\u2014her dreams, joy, and even her boyfriend. When Brit returned for a family gathering, pregnant and hopeful, Mia tried to take one last thing. But this time, our family didn\u2019t let her get away with it.\n

\n

I\u2019m Nick, the middle child, and I grew up watching our parents favor Mia, our \u201cmiracle\u201d baby, while Brit felt invisible. She was ignored, dismissed, and even tormented by Mia, who stole Brit\u2019s crush and cut her hair while she slept. In college, Mia even took Brit\u2019s boyfriend. Brit left, built a life with Pit, and found happiness. But when Brit got pregnant, our parents wanted to reconnect.\n

At a family dinner, Mia tried to undermine Brit again, making cruel comments about her pregnancy. But instead of our parents defending her, family members spoke up, praising Brit for her kindness, generosity, and strength. As everyone showered Brit with love, Mia was ignored, finally becoming the invisible one she had made Brit feel for years.\n

\n

Pit spoke up, calling out Mia for her actions. For the first time, our parents had no defense for her. Mia stormed off, and Brit, smiling through tears, realized she was never the problem. Surrounded by love, she understood her worth. Brit\u2019s baby, surrounded by love, would grow up in a family that finally saw her.\n

Brit was no longer invisible, and this time, the whole family celebrated her.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
