Family Ties and Financial Sacrifices

My sister texted saying I ruined her life because I didn't lend her money for her wedding.

She called me selfish and heartless. What she didn't know is that I had already paid off

her car loan six months ago without telling anyone. $12,000 gone from my savings because

she was drowning in debt. I never mentioned it because I didn't want drama.

So when she sent that text calling me the worst brother ever, I simply replied

with a screenshot of the payment confirmation. Then I sent the loan company's letter showing the account

was closed and paid in full. She went silent for three hours. Then my phone exploded.

Mom called crying, asking why I never told them. Dad sent a long apology text.
