Taking your brother to court is a sin?

Okay, so what about stealing 25k from your sibling to gamble it all?
That’s not a sin all of a sudden?

Actual braindead parents.

[jans]

But why leave ur life savings in the hands of another person…

[smilygriffin]

The parents say he's a young guy who made mistakes that he'll learn from, but how is he supposed to learn without consequences? Doing something really bad and having zero accountability isn't gonna teach him anything!

[DarkEinherjar]

So, the parents essentially parentified OP by having her discipline the brother, and when OP did so by teaching him one the most important lessons of life (ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES), they disowned her?

Sue their golden child to the ground and go no contact.

[noahthenormal]

So glad OP has a lawyer friend. This could have been so much worse

[Moodyman]

The smartest thing OP could have done, other than not let her brother have full access to the savings, would have been to open up a different account and moved the half she was willing to loan. That said it's better things happened like they did. She knows how terrible her parents and brother are and can move forward without them.

[boxygoloem]

She shouldn't even be paying the uncle back since it went to the brother's education instead and he knew about it.

[boredcryptek]

Why give him your savings? Write him a check and demand he pay it back latwr with a contract like he did.

[royal-wolf]

Brother is a Golden Child and has to learn how the world works soon. This is a painful lesson that he will blame the world for but is much needed

[JBTFan]

Love really makes you blind. 12 seconds into this I was like "why the hell would you ever think a bum who has never worked be able to start a business?"

[StoryWave]

Why would she give him her money with what she said about him in the beginning ? I get that he wanted to start a business and all, but still ...

[JimBeamFiend]

Remember people, you can trust someone with your life, but never fully trust anyone with your money.

[ThePawerStation]

It's really funny that they are trying to set a narrative and lie to the family after settlement, where the family can easily fact check everything.
Op should've include another 5K in the settlement for all the stress they caused.

[jacquelinefisk]

Ohh!! That's so nice that the brother went home to Mummy and Daddy 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[C]

OP is a doofus for giving her scummy brother access to her savings. Should've just wrote a check or something.

[TheVeggiekat]

I feel so bad for OP. People wondering why they would be so trusting don’t understand the lasting effects of childhood and family trauma. Being used and abused feels normal and more comforting than being abandoned because at least when the abuse is going on you have hope something will change and you’ll be loved.

[shawnbrooks]

Very little sympathy for OP, you know your brothers a loser but you still gave him access to $25k

[Adarkanexi]

What a sad story. Kind-hearted people make the world a better place. She sounds like she’s in a good position now though.

[Hoki]

Holy fucking shit. Why do people keep staying in contact with their horrible family? Just because they are "blood" doesn't mean you need to stay in contact with them, if they're acting like complete turds. Once you learn to let people go and detach, what and who ever relative etc they might be, then your life will get so much easier when you know that you got a backbone and won't take any kind of toxic behavior from anyone.

To me it doesn't matter who the fuck they are, relative or not, but if ya go toxic on me or do any shit towards me willingly, then they're gone from my life. I will not deal with bs.

[gardnerhill]

The man-blob on the couch who's gonna be Rich Some Day (while never stopping his goddamn video games) is not just a freaking cliche, he's also a bad financial risk - even if he is related to you.
