Imagine inheriting a house, a family business, and a mountain of debt. That’s the reality for our 38-year-old protagonist, who’s now facing a major family feud. After their parents passed away, he was left to care for his younger brother, Adam. Fast forward to today, and our protagonist has managed to keep the business afloat, pay off the house, and even start a family of his own. But now, Adam wants half of everything – and he’s not backing down.

Our protagonist has made countless sacrifices for his little brother, Adam, and now finds himself in a heated family dispute. Adam believes he’s entitled to half of the house and business, but our protagonist isn’t willing to give up everything he’s worked so hard for. To make matters worse, their grandparents have weighed in, accusing our protagonist of being greedy. But with a baby on the way and a struggling business, is he really in the wrong for wanting Adam to stand on his own two feet? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this sticky situation…
