Dan’s job only paid him minimum wage, and after he was done paying for everything his baby needed, he had no money left over.
“When I was 17, Dan stole my debit card and bank details and withdrew all of my savings, which was around £2K (about $2,400),” she said.
“He put my debit card back in my wallet and then left the house with the baby and moved in with his new girlfriend.”
“I felt so betrayed that he would just take something that I worked so hard for. My mum told me I was forbidden from going to the police about it and told me to just let it go, as Dan is struggling and needed it.”
When it came time for her to go to college, luckily, her dad stepped in to help her out financially, but to be honest, she has not said a single word to Dan after he stole her money.
In the 16 years since that happened, Dan has never once reached out to say sorry or to say anything else to her.
Then, a week ago, her mom invited her out to dinner, and her mom also invited Dan, which she found out about.
She didn’t appreciate her mom being so sneaky about it all, and she informed her mom that she has no interest in being around Dan.
“Dan told me I need to grow up, and I can’t hold a grudge over this forever,” she continued. “It was such a long time ago, and he was young and desperate, and he’s still my brother. He said it’s only money, and I shouldn’t be so materialistic.”
“I told him it’s the principle of it, that I’m his little sister, and he stole something significant from me. He said I’m dramatizing the situation and that he was in a rough patch, and surely I could understand why he did it.”
The only person in her family who supports her not wanting to forgive Dan is her dad, while everyone else thinks she’s heartless.
