Redditor Was Shock By Her Stepfather's Bold Request To Contribute To Stepsister's House Deposit Despite Past Unequal Treatment
Ever found yourself in a tough situation when your stepparent asked for a significant financial contribution from you, although they had treated you unequally in the past? That's the predicament this Reddit user (OP) had to deal with.
On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, the OP shared that her stepfather recently sought financial help for her pregnant stepsister's house deposit. This request brought back memories of unequal treatment during the OP's childhood.
Growing up, the OP faced financial disparities and felt like a second-class citizen compared to her stepsiblings. The stepfather seemed to favor his own kids, leaving OP and her brother with limited resources. They even missed out on family outings and endured teasing from their stepsiblings.
Therefore, when confronted with the request, OP didn't hesitate to say no. Now, she doesn't know whether she was wrong to stand up for herself and address past grievances. Scroll down to read the entire story!
Here's how the story starts:
OP's mom and stepfather agreed to maintain separate finances, each contributing equally to the household expenses
OP's mom struggled financially while her stepfather favored his own children with exclusive privileges and teased the OP and her brother for sharing a room
OP and her brother focused on building successful careers, achieving financial independence
OP's stepfather asked if she and her brother could contribute £50k to help his pregnant daughter with the deposit for a £500k house, promising reimbursement as part of the eventual inheritance
Despite insistence from the stepfather citing her financial stability, OP firmly declined contributing to her step sister's house deposit
OP brought up past disparities in assistance during her upbringing
