'I never interacted with his precious little family. don't care about them and don't feel any sense of obligation to pretend they're my family’: 19-year-old son refuses estranged father’s $40,000 request for medical treatment after years of zero contact

Nothing spins the wheel of family drama quite like money. It's funny how quiet things can be until someone inherits a little cash, and then suddenly the world starts turning a lot faster. Long-lost relatives reappear, moral arguments are polished up for presentation, and everyone seems to rediscover how much they care about you. Because if money makes the world go around, it also makes awkward "How you've been?" texts and rekindling urges follow in orbit.

When someone who spent years burning bridges suddenly decides they need help crossing one, when the very people who acted like you didn't exist suddenly circle back like boomerangs, without understanding how karma likes to do things. That when he does her best work, like the saying goes–Karma is a forgiving angel.

Take, for example, the 19-year-old with a trust fund left by grandparents who understood that money really does make the world go around and estranged relatives, circle you like hungry vultures.

"AITA for not giving my father money from my inheritance to pay for treatment for his stepkid?"

His father, who once told him to either embrace a shiny new stepfamily or hit the road, whirled back into the son’s life to request forty thousand dollars for his stepchild's treatment.
The answer was no, because if you previously slammed the door you can’t just decide it suddenly is a revolving one.
