YOUR FAMILY IS. They are not behaving like family for you, they are not being supportive and you deserve way more help, specially if your brothers are adults with their life’s sorted.

I have a little sister no one expected, she’s 20 years younger than me, I am aware that she’ll struggle with life more than me since my parents would be around 70-75 yo when she’s on her 20s so I gave up my part of the house, i don’t even live in the country anymore anyway, so I asked my mum and dad to change the will and they did it, my part will go to my little sister too and my middle brother will have the part that corresponds him since the beginning, he also understands that he will be an adult too and she will need the help and money more. My husband, brother and I are also planing to open an small savings account to help her to go through university, my dad won’t be at a stage to work his a** off to pay for her education like he did with me and he is doing with my brother so it’s our turn to step out and return the favour to him.
