Sweetie ~ I understand, I really do. My oldest sister was my Mom's pet too. When she was born, she was "sickly" but she had an operation and was FINE -- but for the rest of her life my Mom treated her like she was made of china -- as tho she was the most fragile, precious thing on earth!! She was pampered, and adored. And naturally, she got all "A's" in school!!  I had 2 other sisters too, and the rest of us were just "there" much like the furniture.
The oldest sister that was "adored" was also very EVIL, and she LOVED to get ME into trouble! Why she picked on me is beyond me -- she just didn't like me at ALL, so she'd devise these schemes to cause trouble, and then blame them on me -- and of course my parents believed her when she said that I did it -- and I would get punished! She did this until she left home at 19 -- I was only 12 when she left home. You have NO idea how deeply ingrained this resentment was, and still is.
She came home in 2003 when my Mother died -- by then she was 59 years old, and she started in AGAIN!!! She hadn't been home in years -- she lives across the country and wouldn't come home often. The minute she came home she started her old tricks -- making up 'schemes' and trying to get my sisters in on the act, but they saw thru it. She even tried to get my DAUGHTER involved -- but my daughter got MAD at her. LOL
It's a good thing she lives across the country because if I had to see her often, I think I'd probably kill her. LOL 
Your relationship with your Mom is toxic, sweetie. It's best to keep your contact with her to a minimum. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. There are people in our lives who just aren't good for us, and sometimes it's our family, which is unfortunate. But we can't help that! It's NOTHING WE DID. So stay away as much as you can for your own good.
God bless you my friend. Take care. ((((hugs)))) Lee
