Parents try their hardest to treat their children equally but often can’t help but favor one child over the other. The slightest feeling of favoritism can trigger a world of trouble since everyone wants to at least be treated equally.
Children pay close attention to these small details, and there’s no worse feeling than realizing that you are the least favorite child. That feeling sticks with you forever and creates insecurity and many other issues.
Apparent favoritism is even worse since the parents don’t even try to hide it. Children realize that they simply have to deal with it and have no other choice at the time being.

OP is clearly favoring one son over the other.
It feels like OP doesn’t want to find a solution to this problem.
That could be an easy solution to the problem OP is facing.
“You were just a harsh parent who asked them to leave at 18.”
OP needs to be more open to criticism.
To put it in better words:
OP needs to figure out a way to help his son one way or another.
OP needs to apologize to his children for being so harsh with them.
“There’s clear favouritism going on.”
OP is repeating his mistakes without realizing it.
OP wouldn’t even consider kicking the others out but refuses to help his son.
“I’d say that’s pretty inconvenienced.”
OP needs to read back his own words and recognize what he’s doing.
“He could easily move into an apartment with a few friends and split the cost.”
Well, this was an interesting story. OP needs to recognize that he’s favoring some of his children over others.
His son is currently in dire need of his help, and he needs to figure out a way to help him. If you enjoyed reading this, make sure to check out similar content on our platform.
