Man’s family disowns him for not becoming a doctor, demands to move in

A man was disowned by his family for refusing to become a doctor and instead pursuing a career in acting and social media. After 17 years of no contact, the family reconnected during COVID and planned on moving back to Sydney. The man, who had become a successful investment banker and made partner at his bank, met with them and they demanded to move in with him.

When he revealed that he owned a house that was out of their price range, they accused him of lying and threatened to cut him out of their will. The man reminded them that they had abandoned him and bet on his siblings’ success, not his. Now, his siblings are telling him that he should have been more proactive in sharing his success, despite having a public LinkedIn profile.

The man’s story sheds light on the pressure some families put on their children to pursue specific careers and the consequences of not meeting those expectations.
