OP may not be entitled to a college fund, but she has the right to expect her brother and herself to be treated equally by their parents unless there's a good reason not to, which there isn't.

They made OP the scapegoat child, so now they must face the consequentes of it.

[zobiaccancercrabscotty]

You can't promise something for all their lives and expect them not to expect you to live up to that promise you promised her that you pay for her college, you can't get mad at that that's not entitlement that's just how it was said. Why should op suffer because her brother is useless

[morganleanderblake]

jfc, they literally just said, "if you fail to take care of your child it will come out of your inheritance" those people are monsters. "how DARE you take money from our fund just like we took it from our child's!" hypocritical selfish monsters.

[WingsCV]

I could see why some people would call OP entitled. They only hear the part about demanding a college fund and in a vacuum that would be entitled to hear…BUT THE PARENTS HAD THE MONEY. Not only did they have the money, it was prepared for what they promised OP before then giving it away to her brother for a BRAND NEW CAR. Then they told OP they had to pay their way through college?! Where’s the equal treatment among the siblings? OP may not be entitled to a college fund, but they were blindsided with an expensive bill and no way to cover it. Parents should never put their children in this situation, especially when the other child was responsible for the bill!

The mature one here is OP who ironically younger than anybody in her family.

[thefiretailedweasel]

Something tells me OP's parents never wanted a girl...

[chung]

Did the fact that Ops brother had used his dad’s credit card to buy a car, was the reason why his former family had used Op college fund to pay off the loan of his brother’s car.

[neca]

Ngl, OP should tell their grandparents to leave a small settlement for the parents and brother, so if they contest the will, they automatically get nothing

[BloodRawEngine]

Why didn't OP ONCE try to get their side of the story out when their parents made the social media post? It's obvious those parents would only be spewing half-truths at best without any mention of how much they spoiled and enabled OP's brother to the point of treating OP as expendable. That's OP's one big mistake here. Maybe it would have gotten their parents on them again for a while, but I doubt those parents would have continued once OP's grandparents did what they continued to do with the inheritance.

[hugothibodeau]

she should get ready for when her grandparents die. i know it is dark but as soon as the will get reveal there is a big chance the parents could go to court to get the money soo if she keep record of her therapy and keep her family as witness (including the one who are against her sice they would prove her parents actively try to degrade her) she will already have a good defense and just need a good lawyer

[Panwere]

The OP has every right to ask the grandparents help, but the reality is the parents are breaking a promise for a spoiled "golden child" who in reality should have been made to be more responsible. The OP is in no way "entitled", and the grandparents are not wrong for taking the money out of the parents inheritance. The relatives listening to the parents at all screams that the grandparents should disinherit everyone except the OP and the relatives who know what is really getting the truth.

[erejnion]

Her parents literally entitled her to a college fund, then went back on that. And then dare to call her entitled.

[Akuvistic]

Technically the parents would be in a verbal contract and would be forced by the courts to pay if OP were to take it to court. If the agreement was that they would pay for OP’s college as soon as she started college, then they would’ve had to stay true to their word since OP started college already.

Be careful about making promises people! Anyone over 18 making a verbal agreement can legally be bound to do as they say.

[tobiaswolfe]

College v Car .... your parents took YOUR education fund to pay off THEIR son's financial mismanagement... that is all you say... anything else is irrelevant...

[morganleanderblake]

also it's so wEiRd how all the stories with a male OP and college money are totally justified but a girl OP and suddenly she's entitled for wanting to go to college. Reddit's bias is showing.

[bosetheboseman]

That’s the kind of parent/ grandparent I want to be, no favorites and their actions will have consequences

[JSlay]

Even without the full story they should see that paying off a car that he’s responsible for over her education is wild. SMH!

[MarmadukeTheCatXX]

"I don't even blame my brother. He's just stupid" 😆 that gave me a good giggle lol

[MrSam]

Ironic that parents would get mad that college fund is deducted from their inheritance, as if the grandparents had already promised the money to the parents

[aquitaineq]

no one is owed an inheritance, they can do whatever they want with their money.
