So the parents aren't evil, they've just been blind to their own contribution to making their eldest daughter the closed off and "unsociable" girl she was. It does really feel like all they needed was someone to point out she wasn't just socially awkward, she was miserable and bullied. Unfortunately, it absolutely is too late. Their actual daughter magically offed herself already, and is dead.
It also has hints of the "Parent of gifted child" mentality. A parent has a child they can see on paper should be doing great on their own so they focus on the one that seems to need more help without seeing how its affecting said gifted child.
This has the same pain as being neglected because she's the older sister and someone who never causes trouble so it's fine if they spoil the other child a bit...😒
