After Fifteen Years Of Favoritism, My Family Learned I'm Not An ATM

My parents get a monthly pension check of about fifteen hundred dollars. The second it hits their account, they wire every single cent directly to my younger brother.

For fifteen years, they haven’t missed a single month.

Back then, they claimed Ethan was their golden boy—the one who would take care of them in their old age. So naturally, they said the money belonged to him.

I never argued. I never said a word.

Later, when I bought my first apartment and was ten thousand dollars short on the down payment, I begged every friend I knew. I never once asked my parents for a penny.
