Parents Dropped Me from Their Will & Biz for Their 'Perfect' Kid

[@SkyEcho751]

OP messed up NOT getting ownership, even just partial ownership, in the 'family business' when he sunk all his savings into the company. That was his biggest mistake overall.

[@jaredbrown3726]

Yea or at the very least have a contract stating op would be paid back

[@dinitis]

Should still have some rights in equity.

[@faizansyed9111]

No his biggest mistake was helping them in the first place.

[@mnomadvfx]

Anyone with his kind of family history would have to be lower than average IQ to even still be interested in his birth family after he left for college. That he even responded to his father after that seems unlikely, but taking over his business AND sinking money into it without a cast iron legally binding ownership agreement? Nah - I just don't believe it for a second. No one is THAT much of a doormat, and that stupid while still managing to excel in college and a well paying job.

[@claudeyaz]

​@@faizansyed9111 It wouldn't have been a mistake have you gotten equity and gotten something out of it taking advantage of the situation ...but yeah it was a mistake to do it if he didn't get anything out of here

[@mikehilbert9349]

OP's first mistake was helping his parents. The second mistake was giving a crap about what anyone thinks.

[@abbthedreamer8378]

bad reputation will fuck your career up, especially with people like his parents, who will ruin him in the long run if he didn't do anything about them.

First rule in business.....never lend money to anyone unless you get a promissory note!

[@ostlandr]

Even if you do, as Granddad said, "If you lend money to friend or a relative, be prepared to lose both."

OP should still sue his parents to get his money back

[@krisCrashTV]

He has no documentation. If you invest in family business or loan money to family members, make a document, have them sign it. Always. Don't trust family when it comes to this, because people get ugly when money and inheritance are involved.

If you're not a quick thinker you must have some comeback "ready-to-use" in your head all the time. When his parents called him to ask for money for the electricity bills, he should have said "Sorry all my money went into the company and since you did not refund me, if have nothing left".

[@ogieoglethorpe3788]

quick answers are good but a blunt harsh answer would be better. something like.......why would you be stupid enough to think i would ever help you or care what happens to you? i cared once before and you pushed me out and stole my money and that was when you became dead to me. now is there anything else i can refuse to help you with? no? have a nice life

Two events helped me cull an astonishing amount of deadweight from my social circle. I almost died in the hospital and stopped talking to anyone who didn't know or care. Then, when my father died, I got rid of a bunch more. The relief of the burden was cathartic

[@wickedashley]

Nope. NTA. Not as dramatic, but my mother has neglected me my entire life. She didn’t wish me a happy birthday last year for over a week. I’m 31 now. This past October I moved away from my hometown, and when I came in for my birthday in February I did not see my mother and she lost her FUCKING MIND. And I’m like sis, you literally didn’t even remember my birthday last year… why would I go out of my way to see you when I have 3 days to see everyone I’ve ever known?? Abusive parents cannot stand when they get that adult review of the childhood they put you through.

[@PotatoL001]

Yeah same here. What a moron.

[@personwithaquestion1800]

What's really annoying is OP doesn't even realize what an idiot he was getting involved. No healthy regret or self depreciation but he thinks he was in the right to help his family business. No. If you're stupid, expect to be taken for a ride!!! ugh

[@n0_name.69]

I was also about to Stop but i waited and am satisfied that he got a good ending but my god i was f***ing mad at op for accepting dad's request. My inner voice was shouting that someone knocked some sense on this dumbass

[@trenae77]

I know! My parents have NEVER held over my head how much they’ve done for me. I’m the one who is throwing in and helping them in their older age with my father’s health issues and they insist I’m doing too much. I just tell them that they are letting me live in the home so anything I give them would be going to rent or a mortgage anyway. That said I still have money that I’m putting away for the future. The thing is, I had a lot of health issues as a kid and they selflessly invested in therapy, medical treatment, what have you so I know my success now is them; it’s an honor to be there for them now.

OP’s biggest mistake was trusting family without securing his own interests. You can’t just throw your life savings into a business without any ownership or legal agreement. Lesson learned the hard way!

[@leondillon8723]

Another version of the dimbulb story. He GAVE them the money without obtaining majority ownership. He became just another employee. I suspect that he DID NOT have them sign loan papers. Good bye repayment or claiming a tax loss.

[@ladyweasellou3367]

I think the most f**ked-up part of this story is the fact the parents were 100% aware they were in the wrong and why, they fully acknowledged it by making him keep his mouth shut and played perfect parents when family was around and how they played/acted differently in front of them and yet they still did so. They were wrong and they knew it. It's really messed up and sad. Reminds me of my inlaws.

[@jackchop1576]

OP's psychotic denial of reality regarding his family is the saddest part of this story, honestly. They are never going to change or approve of you at all.

I mean it seems he did come to terms with that. Especially after his dad said he was "just another employee" even though he Saved their business

[@sugakookie7985]

Parents cripple their golden child by favoring them while the forgotten scapegoat sometimes has drive to succeed (not always sometimes all children are destroyed by bad parenting) then the parents are surprised when neglected child rejects them.

OP is a very much vulnerable guy...he know what his family put him through but still sides them when they in need even when they didn't apologized nor showed any remorse on their past actions towards him, still couldn't stand his dad's so called puppy eyes full of hope( like a kid) and helped them when they never ever gave a F about him since childhood but only reached him out when they were miserable ...He should have just rejected it like his brother saying its their karma for what his parents and spoiled brat bro done to him... Foolish of him to help them as if they were some innocents and still hopped on the idea that they still his family when they literally celebrated him moving out of the house 🙄😤🤦🏻‍♀️.....

[@Dumbdog124]

I hate it when in these stories parents try to pull "We raised you better than this" like no. They are behaving exactly how you raised them. You taught them that family doesn't matter, and family is under no obligation to help each other, emotionally or financially. Also the fact that the brother got Soulja boy rug em'd is hilarious

[@D.Holliday112]

After they called asking for help after the 'golden child' screwed everything up, I would have given them an ultimatum: "Sign the family business over to me wholesale with a contract MY lawyer will write up and then I'll help you... or never contact me again." I'd have a major law firm write up an iron-clad contract that would make me 100% the owner of the family business and if they did sign it over, I would liquidate all assets and sell everything off. I'd burn everything down while making a profit doing so and only give them just enough so that they wouldn't starve or be homeless. My brother wouldn't see a penny.

[@Robert-S-World]
