Our heroine’s tale is one filled with financial dilemmas and emotional manipulation. After years of helping her boyfriend’s family financially, she’s drawn a line in the sand. When the sister and brother, jobless due to Covid, come asking for help to save their home, she says ‘No.’ Despite having $11,000 in savings, she refuses to be their financial safety net again. The sister’s emotional plea and accusations of indifference leave our heroine questioning her decision. But with an unpaid debt of $3,000 still looming, she stands her ground. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation… ️♀️
