Relationships

Why do parents deny having favorites after calling them on their double standards?

I know I have asked this before but I got only vague answers and if you come at me with hostility for asking the same question I will delete and block you. Anyway, I love my parents but they are not the best parents in the world especially my dad and me and my dad have a love-hate relationship. For example, I was the first person in my family to go to college and get my higher education, yet my father was never supportive of it and even tried to get me to drop out of college and when I got it he congratulated me but after I proved him wrong that I could go to school and get my degree. However, when his grandson my older brother's kid went to university also, he through his unconditional support and love behind him and caused me a whole lot of bitterness and resentment and instead of apologizing for his action he told me to get over it so now I attack my dad and criticize anything and everyone he loves any chance I get and I don't care if he gets mad. Which puts my mom in the middle and my dad accuses her of defending me when she is, and he takes his rage out on me even more when my mom defends me from his criticism but I fight back and he backs off. My older brother is also the same way, he used to make fun of my weight and tell me I will get diabetes and cancer if I loose weight even though it is from years of steroids from a sick childhood so me being overweight is not a result of overeating. Yet karma took his revenge on my older brother and now the bastard has cancerous tumors in both of his kidneys and my dad wants me to be all supportive of my older brother. Don't get me wrong I don't want him to die or have cancer, but I can't just forget all the ill treatment he did to me just because he has cancer. I refuse to be a hypocrite and my dad is upset because I won't go down to see my older brother, and again why should I.
