But when the van inevitably broke down, they found themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere, pleading for their brother to come to their rescue. But would he? ❄️⚠️

Unheeded Warnings Lead to Stranded Sisters and a Family Feud
After ignoring their brother’s warnings about the dangers of their planned road trip, three sisters found themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere when their late father’s van broke down. Their pleas for rescue fell on deaf ears, as their brother refused to embark on an 11-hour drive to save them. Despite offering to wire them money for bus tickets, he was met with a wave of backlash from his distraught mother and disappointed sisters. But does his refusal to rescue them make him the villain in this tale, or is he simply a man standing his ground after his advice was ignored? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…

“NTA and I can’t believe anyone here is being sympathetic to his sisters like they’re children. My dad died when I was a teenager and I definitely said and did things that were out of character, so I do understand that grief is complicated and stressful…but this wasn’t an impulse choice they made or a situation where they lashed out in the moment and felt bad after. They planned this trip for weeks (months?), refused to listen to reason or think about how to ensure their own safety, and then expected their brother to spend a full day driving to bail them out when there were other ways for them to get home? And now they’re all trashing him? NOPE.”
