He Let His Dad Know That He Would Be Happy To Spend Christmas With Him Under One Condition: He Needs The Money From His College Fund Back
A 23-year-old guy sadly lost his mom when he was little, and then his dad got remarried. When his stepmom entered his life, he felt that it was nothing but downhill from there.
He can look back and say that a lot of choices his dad and stepmom made were choices he does not agree with to this day.
And one decision that they made together was to use his college fund to pay for the surgeries his stepbrother needed.
“Unfortunately, he’s dead (died last year at the age of 16 from a chronic heart problem),” he explained.
“I put my distance but still see my grandparents and uncles, aunts, cousins, etc.”
His college fund was created for him by his dad, and his mom was still alive when it was made for him.
His mom was a stay-at-home mom and did not have a job, yet his mom and dad thought he should have money set aside for when it came time for him to go to college.
Since his stepmom and dad then spent all of his college money on his stepbrother, when it did come time for him to go to college, he had to pay for it all on his own.
Several of his relatives stepped in to help him afford college, and his uncle really was the one family member that helped him a ton.

Since then, he really hasn’t allowed his dad into his life much, but recently, his dad has made contact with him through some of their family members.
“He went on about his overwhelming feelings of loneliness, his upcoming divorce, and invited me to spend Christmas with him because he’s alone and heartbroken,” he said.
“As a response, I told him I’ll GLADLY spend Christmas with him if he gives back my college fund in a form of a Christmas gift.”
“He and the others didn’t like my response. He thought this was harsh, and my relatives said that I was a judgemental, petty, greedy a****** to say this to him after he’s lost so much.”
“They said he did all he could to save his stepson’s (my stepbrother’s) life which they described as “noble,” and that he doesn’t owe me a thing. I went home after a big argument with my uncle, who came at me for what I said.”
What really hurt him the most was disappointing his uncle and letting him down. It really was terrible for him to stand there as his uncle berated him for how he felt about his college fund.
He still feels terrible, and he’s thinking that perhaps he should have just said no to spending Christmas with his dad without getting into it with him about the college money.
Do you think he should have skipped out on Christmas with his dad without giving a reason?
