the fact her family tried to physically threaten her to pay them was absolutely disgusting. They didn't bat two eyes when they were in dire help but LITERALLY the second they heard that she had money they came running for the hills and when she refused they tried to brute force the money out of her. Talk about a bullshit family

When you come into money, the biggest mistake is to tell family and friends. If they know you have money, people come out of the woodwork with a hand out

The cousin that asked for a $1, 000 and then quickly paid it back is awesome

OP is literally an angel in human form. She literally took care of 90% of the financial burdens of her closest relatives and even then got treated horribly.

[mdstads]

This person did A LOT for their family. More than enough. I'm surprised to see people pay this much for extended family.

[elleryoneill]

Do not pay for them anymore. Anything that happens once, like harassment, win WILL continue. You are in no way wrong, and very brave for standing your ground.

Her husband was amazingly supportive, I wish more people like him existed

As the son of these parents who pay for a lot of their siblings stuff, I totally get where this woman is coming from. The worst part is that after a while they don’t even have gratitude for the things you’ve done for them and even expect it to the point it’s no longer a question but a demand.

I don’t understand the psychology behind why people become so ungrateful and clueless after a while but just recently my mom got into an argument with her mom because she got mad at my mom for not paying some stuff for my uncle, and she said things like “You guys have money so why don’t you just help him out?” Ironically no other siblings ever help my grandmother or struggling uncle out, it’s always my mom paying for medical treatments and pulling them out of debt, she even gave them a blueberry farm as a gift that she no longer wanted to deal with, but it’s never enough apparently. We have another uncle who’s a doctor and he treats everyone like sht, never gives anyone money and never visits my grandma. Yet recently that she’s been mad at my mom she’s been complaining about my mom while saying she’s grateful to my doctor uncle even though he’s never actually intervened or helped anyone.

My mom had to learn the hard way that people don’t care about your help or good deeds, she stopped giving everyone money, and took away the cars she lent my struggling uncle (which btw were in horrible condition, he didn’t take any sort of care for her cars). Right now they’re pissed at her for setting up boundaries, yet are completely enamoured by other relatives who never help or visit them.

You drew the line, they crossed it, there are consequences.

She did nothing wrong

This story is a perfect example of why I'd pretend to disappear in the view of my "peer group" and family in the event that I ever win the lottery or get into a well-paying job, since I know they'd crawl to me and basically demand that I pay back debts they invoked long after taking care of me. Family stops being family once they know they can exploit you and it makes me sad.

The fact that the aunt and uncle wanted 4.8 million dollars in college funds alone is shocking. That's not even including how much the holiday home they were also demanding cost-

Family isn’t always an Excuse.
-A very Wise person

I had a similar experience. When I told them all my money was gone. It was the only way I could break the greed. I never heard from anyone again. Only one member asked if i needed help, That was the only person I respected and helped them out during hard times after it all went quiet.

[jacobreichert]

1) based upon how much money they gave out and people were demanding I think “a lot of money” is an understatement 😅
2) these are the most entitled, infuriating people I have ever heard of. If a family member came up to me and paid for my mortgage and Childs college I would treat them better than Jesus i swear. I would kiss the very ground they walked upon.

[-snowingwillow-]

This woman is way to nice I can’t even believe her family did that to her she deserves better and I’m glad her husband was on her side

[Deez_nutz_productions]

That sounds like a good husband he didn’t even classify the OP’s money as his and hers he just classified it as her’s, truly amazing 17:46

[Los.]

Crazy how she doesn’t even mind spending that much on family lots of millionaires don’t even do that

[StankAhhBoy]

She’s not the jerk at all. She sacrificed so much and worked so hard for that money and instead of keeping all that money to her and her husband and children, she decided to pay their mortgages and collage money. Demanding for more money after that and going as far as to strike her is insane. She is certainly not the jerk

[jamesjdm]

I would pay for a house for my mom. beyond that everyone can take a hike.

in no way shape or form is anyone guilting me into a damn thing.

[portcullisgames]

This is ridiculous, OP is so generous and the family’s demands are crazy, but not only that, she has done so much for them and a lot of them are being so rude. Good on the people who weren’t crazy and were very grateful.
