π¨ They Stole My College Fund and Expected Me to Pay for His Third Failed Business I worked 40-hour weeks, survived on 50-cent meals, and took out $70,000 in student loans while my parents told me they "couldn't afford" to help with college. Years later, when they asked me to co-sign a loan for my brother's third business venture, I discovered the truth: my grandfather had left me $25,000 for collegeβand my parents gave it all to my brother. Along with his own $30,000. While I was drowning in debt, he was burning through $55,000 in startup money. Now they want me to risk my credit again. This time, I said no. π What Happened: - π Worked full-time through college, racked up $70K in loans - π° Discovered my parents gave my $25K college fund to my brother (plus his own $30K) - π« Brother defaulted on previous loans, stuck our aunt with $12K in debt - π Parents demanded I co-sign for his third failed business attempt - π₯ I refusedβand the family secret exploded π¬ Would you co-sign after finding out the truth? Or was I wrong to refuse family? Drop your take below. Disclaimer: This video is based on stories shared in online communities and public forums.

Sue for the money and force them to sell the house
I wouldβve replied: I AM HAPPY, NOT BEING THERE WITH YOUR DROWNING SHIP!!
It's funny how the past is never important when it's a toxic person's past.
If you lend money to family never expect it to be repaid. I've learnt that from experience with a sis-in-law.
Food trucks will work if you have a decent product and are willing to put in the work..
The past is exactly what u need 2 fail
cut them out let them live with their "golden child"
"Don't expect us to be there when you need help!" "You taught me that when I needed help for college. You only help if HE needs it. Get lost."
Reply :" When kevin sticks you with all the bills and vanishes forget i exist because to me you don't exist"!

Family is the most poisonous word in the english language.People use that word to completely manipulate everyone around them.Because they think that word has so much power.But I'll let you know right now.Family means nothing if family uses the word family to try to make you bend over, then they're not worth the word family
