Let Them Build Character

My parents watched me drown in student debt just so my brother could live easy.

I was the "low maintenance" sibling, which apparently meant I had to work double shifts and

max out credit cards while they secretly funded my brother’s entire life because he couldn't handle

stress. I literally found a hidden savings account they started for him the exact

month I left for school. Now, five years later, they’re broke and

asking me for money. I told them absolutely not. They taught me that struggle builds

character, so I’m finally letting them build some.
