Picture this: Your parents announce their divorce, and you’re the only one who knows the real reason behind it. You’ve been holding onto this secret, watching your deadbeat sister Anne (26 F) continue to mooch off your parents, and it’s driving you crazy. Anne’s been a problem for years, getting expelled from college, never working more than 14 hours a week, and hopping from therapist to therapist. Your mom finally had enough and wanted to kick Anne out, but your dad disagreed, and their marriage crumbled. Now, Anne’s whining about your mom’s “melodramatic sh*t,” and you can’t take it anymore. What do you do?

Breaking Point: Confronting the Sister Who Destroyed a Marriage
So, our protagonist finally snaps and confronts Anne, asking if she really doesn’t care that she’s such a selfish, garbage, waste of space human that she’s driven her parents to get a divorce.
