It's sad but realistic. Parents will often times focus and devote more of their time to the child they feel is struggling or not mature enough. Often times this makes the "mature" child grow up faster or become independent. It's sad that his brother's actions robbed him of not only a loving family that actually accepted him completely but also the chance at a happy childhood. Seeing as how our main character has had to deal with the actions of his brother since he was young. I don't agree with his parents choices at all but in all honesty the fact that they are making him go to the wedding bothers me more. Because I feel like it's more about maintaining appearances, it's not like before when they had a hard choice to make for their childrens' well-being.
