Meet our protagonist, a generous 32-year-old woman who has been financially supporting her retired parents by giving them $500 a month for groceries and bills. But when she discovers that her deadbeat 35-year-old brother, who has multiple baby mommas, is receiving her hard-earned money, she’s had enough. After a family wedding fiasco, she confronts her parents and gives them an ultimatum: stop giving her brother money or she’ll stop supporting them. Let’s dive into this family drama and find out what happened next!

Is She the Bad Guy for Standing Her Ground? ‍♀️

Our protagonist is fed up with her deadbeat brother’s antics and her parents’ favoritism. After discovering that her hard-earned money was being handed over to her brother, she gives her parents an ultimatum: stop giving him money or she’ll stop supporting them. Her parents refuse to comply, and the family hasn’t spoken for two months. When her aunt accuses her of being heartless, she stands her ground. But is she really the bad guy here? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this situation…

“NTA. Money is fungible. Even if the money you give them isn’t directly spent on your brother it still subsidizes him. Every $100 of groceries you give them or they buy with your money just frees up $100 of their money to spend on your brother. They don’t even feel guilty about this as in their eyes you’re the bad daughter for not supporting family and it sounds like nothing you do will ever be enough. If anything your involvement helps them ignore your brother’s failings as you pay for the consequences, maybe a couple years of no support/contact from you might force them to reconsider how they’ve treated you both.”
