Estranged 28-year-old sibling reappears to ask their younger brother for money after cutting family ties: 'They made a dramatic exit'

Two siblings from the same family are having trouble reconciling their upbringing. It's a common experience for many siblings: no parents treat all of their children exactly the same way.

In some families, the youngest child remains the "baby" of the family forever, and is constantly doted on by their parents. In other families, the eldest kid is the golden child, and the other siblings get compared to them no matter how great their own accomplishments are. Family matters are complex, even when everyone in the family loves and cares for one another.

In this person's family, something is definitely wrong. This guy shares that his older sibling suddenly cut off the entire family, and refused to speak to anyone for five years. This guy, u/OwnBet5510, seems to think that his sibling was in the wrong for this, since they didn't speak to him for years, either. So he was especially surprised when the sibling suddenly started demanding money after their father passed away, opening the whole issue up again. Scroll down to read the whole story, as well as comments from people who gave their own takes on the tale.

Although some people sided with the original poster, a lot of commenters felt that there was some major information missing from the story. People don't usually just cut off their whole families for no reason at all. Some people noted that parents can treat their kids vastly differently, even when they're trying to raise them the same way.
