‘It's your duty as a brother’: Privileged parents attempt to take advantage of their son to give their preferred child financial independence

Families are supposed to be your pillar of support, your safe haven, your anchor. But in actuality, not every family is the idealized, Hallmark-movie type of family. How would you react if your family simply wanted you to be there to maintain their opulent way of life?

The story that follows is an account of a frustrated son. There has always been tension between the Original Poster (OP) and his parents. But as OP grew older and more mature, the relationship grew increasingly strained and the rift only deepened. That's why OP felt something strange was about to happen when his parents finally got in touch with him after a long absence. As anticipated, at their meeting, OP's parents asked that he provide financial support to his brother, who is financially reckless and has depleted all of his funds.

That being said, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning the specifics of what happened between OP and his parents and whether or not OP gave in to their demands! When you're finished, don't forget to read the story of the snobby teen who thought he was superior to the diligent door-to-door salesmen!
