I am in a family business owned by my Ndad. My stepsister Cindy works at the company as well. She has a lot more responsibility at work and makes 3x as much as me. My dad favors Cindy over me because she is someone who fuels his ego with praise-or maybe he just likes her more. He denies this of course. They became very close after my dad cut off all contact with me since I moved to another country a few years ago which left me out of his control(I am now living close to him and working for him). A bunch of people from work are going to an admirable destination for a conference. Someone from work dropped out of the conference and he immediately called Cindy up in a hurry to invite her. My husband who also works for the company called him up and told him he was disappointed I wasn't invited, and how I would be great at the conference for our business. After telling my husband his accusations are bullshit and making a lame excuse of why he invited Cindy, the next day he invited me. I want to say no because I cant deal with the pressure of competing with Cindy. I can only imagine me trying do a better job at this conference and freaking out inside when he calls her his daughter. Everyone keeps telling me "go to the conference, and show her who's boss, youll be so much better at public speaking or things along those lines" but I just feel so hurt and need to let got, .....This is a rant-but I would like to do a more detailed eloquent post describing the backstory of everything.
