Story 1: Aunt is the true MVP in this story and we need more people like her. I have disablities and work with kids with special needs. Parents who do this kind of crap only end up hurting their kids and make them unable to deal with anything as adults.

Bro the aunt was a literal all-star. The fact that she gave him a locked box and a completely different location to keep it makes her the best aunt ever.

[S-galaxy-]

The first story.. yk I personally would be SO petty. Like when they got mad bc of recking their own room and trying to steal the safe money I'd just be like "what's wrong? I thought you said doing this was ok because of his special needs" maybe then the unfit parents would realized how the guy felt

[Reaper-bdbl]

That last story? I feel for them. I could see my grandmother doing that. She always used to overstep on everything with everyone. People let her get away with it because she was a little old lady and was always 'nice'. But me, being the eldest and most "outspoken" grandchild, I started setting up clear boundaries and consequences with her. Nothing like elder abuse, but stuff like, "Alright, you took my truck, which you have no claim to, without my knowledge or permission. I'm keeping the keys hidden from you and i'm not talking to you for weeks. No, I will not let you use it at all anymore, no matter what you need to haul. Should have thought about that before driving it across half the state." You HAVE to set boundaries and enforce them with people like that. When they cry or whine, tell em to suck it up. They are grown adults, and need to act as such.

First story: after the brother tried to open the parents safe, the op should've said, "don't scold him, he's special needs"

[hannahhorehlad]

The first story is SO frustrating!! Luckily his aunt helped him. I know plenty of people that had issues like that and never had anyone backing them up and ended up never getting anything back either.

[LunaNatz]

I was always told, by my mum who works in child care, that all kids regardless of specific needs should be taught boundaries and right from wrong. Those first parents are just awful.

[smartchango]

I am pretty sure that the reason the parents got mad at the brother for ransacking their room was because his behavior finally started hurting them. When the brother ransacked the op's room the parents didn't care because they weren't being affected in a negative way.

[robins]

"He's special, he's not like you."

Yeah, he's a fuckin' thief is what he is. We get it, lady, you only love one of your kids. Jesus christ 90% stories with family problems seem to be about how the golden child does something shitty and the parents don't think there's anything wrong with it and they're surprised when their unwanted kid goes no contact.

[christianthrasher]

The fact in the first story it took until the younger brother trashed the parents room for them to finally discipline him shows how much they didn't care about op also the Aunt is a freaking hero I'm surprised she didn't call cps on the parents because allowing a child to do what they want is a form of abuse

[mankarseptim]

I have autism and I knew very damn well since day 1 that stealing is wrong. Hell when my cousin left a toy at my house I felt so guilty that I had a breakdown. Keep in mind I was 5 and by then I thought that I somehow accidentally stole it.

[jzi]

As an older sibling myself i believe that it is important to... Lay your hands upon your younger siblings occasionally to guide them to reason 🤣

[roryemmons]

1st Story: As a person with special needs who is a parent of a child with special needs this kids parents are abusing him. And I'm talking about the brother. Special needs does not mean a child can't understand boundaries. My child knows boundaries and if he oversteps them we have an immediate conversation about it. We talk about how he would feel if someone did that to him and he understands what it means to see things from someone else's perspective. Special needs is helped with patience but not with ignoring them. This kid has more issues that have been instilled by his parents lack of parenting than anything he was born with.

[John-lzbs]

As somebody with multiple issues I am personally disgusted by the "there special" excuse

I mean my parents would never let that excuse fly

[NaishiYT]

I absolutely hate parents who spoil their special needs kids. They don’t need to be treated like royalty because of their disability; it just simply takes longer for them / it’s harder for them to understand things but either way, for the most part, they just need to be treated like any other kid

[ellwindekindle]

Being special needs myself. I am incredibly grateful my mother didn't let me do that kind of shit. I definitely tried, but she wouldn't let me get away with it. I hated her for it at first, but now that I'm an adult, I am incredibly thankful for her.

[alphazwolvz]

First Story: These parents are literally abusing the word special needs just so that their youngest son can get whatever he wants. I am also just surprised that the parents are just fine with the youngest son going through his brothers room whenever he hides the money. Honestly I think that the younger brother got what he deserved when he then went through his parents room.

[Sirithil]

Second OP absolutely dodged a bullet by having this girl break up with him.

[pumpkii]

Bruh I have ADHD asburgers and so much more. My mom kept telling me being disabled is not an excuse, it just means I have to work harder than anyone else. I'm glad she taught me that way because it made me a better person.

[rok_player]

Yea I agree. My brother has a condition but he's not spoiled like that so he doesn't steal and destroy the house. Our parents disciplined us from an early age.
