This dejected son shared their story of the time their parents canceled their birthday party due to their sibling's entitled tantrums. They explain that their brother had high-functioning autism and the inter-workings of the family dynamic that was built around that presented a situation where the dejected son was having to make constant concessions for their brother and share everything that they had with them. It definitely reads as a difficult situation for this family, but the shades these parents are painted in during the events of this story do not present their actions as being rational or fair.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/entitledparents subreddit by the dejected sibling, u/Holden-Position-4, who shared their story of the hardship they faced during this particular event and how they strong-armed their parents by exposing their actions to their entire school.

This subreddit often hosts stories of difficult family situations and situations where 'entitled' parents have manipulated and cheated the children that they are raising or have raised. The stories often consist of rampant narcissism, gaslighting, and entitlement. Sometimes there are bittersweet moments but predominantly these are not feel-good stories as they deal with the struggles children face within these families.
