Neglected Son Refuses To Let Adopted Sibling Stay In Townhouse After Parents Let Him Live In Squalor To Save For Their Favorite Kid Years Ago
On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, this Redditor (OP) recently shared the twists and turns of his adult life, from early struggles at university due to financial challenges and lack of parental support to a strained relationship with their adopted sibling.
In the post, he revealed that things took a dramatic turn during a Christmas dinner. The OP's parents asked him if his adopted sibling would stay in his townhouse for university. However, he refuses because his parents neglected him years ago to favor a stranger, which caused him to live in squalor.
His family members called him a jerk for not helping his family. Now, he is wondering whether he was wrong.
