This 28-year-old guy says that growing up, his childhood was normal, and his mom and dad gave him the basics.

His mom and dad never went above and beyond for him, though, and surprisingly when he turned 17, they announced that they were adopting another child.

They brought him 7-year-old Chris, and a year later, he moved right out to attend college. At that point, his mom and dad insisted that they couldn’t give him any money towards college or otherwise since they had another son they had to support.

“I admit, I resented that,” he explained. “I had to work and go to college. For the first two years, I couldn’t get into university dorms, so I had to rent, which was much more expensive.”

“I can’t count how many times I hadn’t eaten for 2-3 days. It was horrible, and I consider that the worst experience of my life.”

“It got easier after I got into dorms, but I still couldn’t afford anything extra, like going to a party or such.”

Anyway, after he moved out to go to college, he didn’t really keep up having a relationship with his family and never grew to think of Chris as a brother.

He sees his parents and Chris maybe 2 times each year, despite living less than half an hour away from where they do.

He even got married not too long ago, and his parents have no clue. He did end up spending Christmas with his family, and during dinner, his parents brought up Chris going to college in the city where he lives.

His parents then asked if Chris could live in his townhouse before stating that they would pay for all of Chris’s expenses and rent too.

His townhouse that he lives in is located in a wonderful location that’s pretty much in the middle of the college Chris will be going to.

“I don’t rent rooms, but if I would, rent would be the highest in the city,” he said. “I was triggered when my parents said they would pay for him, so I said that they can’t afford to rent a room in my place and to look elsewhere. All family there were shocked by my response, and my parents were somewhat taken aback.”

Now that Christmas has passed, multiple family members feel that he’s a jerk for not wanting to let Chris live with him. His mom and dad have also sent him texts asking that he change his mind and be there for his brother.

Chris is super upset that he won’t do a thing for him. He has told his mom and dad that although Chris is a son to them, Chris is not someone he considers to be a brother, so it’s not on him to step up and help Chris.

“Even Chris texted me and begged me to reconsider, but I just ignore him,” he continued. “And everyone else, for that matter. The problem is my partner, who is a good, kind soul and is starting to get to me. So, what do you think?”
