Definition: The experience of being physically present but systematically erased from family memories, photos, or decisions like a glitch in the Matrix. Parents exhibit selective amnesia about your achievements while curating shrine-like devotion to another sibling’s needs. You become a background NPC in your own home, celebrated only through token apologies like “We’ll make it up next year” (spoiler: they won’t).
Example: They booked a Maldives trip “for Jason’s sensory recovery” but forgot my graduation.
Now their Christmas card features just the three of them photoshopped onto Mount Fuji.
