Mom Pulled My Plug for His Dream

Summary

When I was eight years old, my younger brother, Evan Gunn, extracted my artificial heart's battery to charge his phone.

By the time my parents, Ethan Gunn and Andrea Alston, found out, I was already blue in the face and on the verge of death.

Even after my life was saved, I was left with severe complications.

From that day onward, Evan became all but invisible in our parents' eyes.

They no longer smile at him or talk to him, instead focusing all their attention on me.

Dad travels abroad to work, all so he can cover my heart's monthly maintenance costs.
