Growing up in a family that has been through the trials and tribulations of divorce takes a toll on everyone involved. The kids are impacted in several ways, one being that they might have to say hello to new step-siblings in the coming years. Parents who depended on a dual income are now trying to make ends meet for their children so they can live a prosperous life. Then, you have the other parent who went on to become somewhat estranged, yet still ask for handouts from their 19-year-old daughter.
In this next story, a teen daughter refuses to hand over a portion of her college savings to her 8-year-old and 6-year-old step-siblings. She expresses that her mother worked nonstop to fund her education when her father left, but now he and his new wife are expecting her to dish out money to her step-siblings. Not only do these younger siblings have over 10 years before they start college, but her father also barely contributed to the savings at all. Therefore, it's not his money, so he needs to come up with monetary funds for his new family all on his own. Not the daughter's problem!
