"Your response was perfect! Sometimes we need to walk away and let people see their own consequences. Has anyone else ever stood up like that to their family?"

Are we just going to ignore how everyone went along with this? Not one person stood up for him until he exposed their mess.

Your family just want you to become the family atm.

his uncle was there but didnt hear what the parents were saying?

Again, its always fine to go zero contact with bad family... and this family definitely sucked. I would've noped out of that alledged intervention meeting in the first 20 seconds of the "presentation". Well, at least he eventually countered with a "presentation" of his own. What goes around comes around.

If these two people combined household income is $89,000, individually they're not doing any better than him! What kind of flex is that?

the mom cries.... the mom always cry...

A power point demonstration on my love life.. Well that would be it for me... Good bye! What horrible people!

This story reminds me of a book that ends on a cliffhanger and the second book is never made. A waste, how are we not going to be given the aftermath man!!

Now he controls his parents' lives, too.

My father never forgave me for graduating college at 22-years-old. I had made my 27-year-old older brother, the alcoholic, pothead, college dropout, look bad. My older brother, the first born, was supposed to be the first one in the history of the family to graduate. The year after my older brother dropped out of college was the same year I announced that I was going to college. My father was furious! How dare I outshine father's golden boy. If I wanted to go to college, I had yo pay for it myself. So I did. I had my savings and academic scholarships. Academic scholarships for the one my father called the dummy. After 4 years of professional work experience, I had the finances to live independently. I moved out at 26 years old. I moved from New Jersey to California. My father was furious! My father missed my regular, monthly rent check. In California, I survived and thrived. I was not the prodigal son. I did not get a financial inheritance. Six years later, my parents kicked my older brother out when my older brother was 37-years-old.

I guess some people missed the fact that his immediate family manipulated the entire extended family all the way up until he walked in the door. So if they initially lied to get everyone there they more than likely lied about what was being voted on.

Love the story thank you Colorado

"throw away account, because family uses reddit"

Proceeds to give enough personal information, that anyone aware of the situation wouldn't immediately be able to recognize him.

As I see it at 10:00 the family want him to earn more money so that they can leach off him.  His brother made $15,000 in a quarter and owes OP $800.  Pay it back before this farce goes any farther.

these people are crazy. i cant even name 26 members of my family and i have at least 21 first cousins.

A laptop computer. Spoken like someone who has never seen a laptop before

Fixing the parents' financial problems just means they'll continue to screw  up and hurt their rescuers.

Who has 27 chairs in their home on a random day ? Unless they all brought their own folding chair...

They could have been honest and asked OP to pay market rent.
