24-year-old, eldest of 12 siblings, refuses to pay for her sister’s college tuition and moves out after their mother pressures her to give up her savings on top of paying rent: ‘That was the last straw’

Growing up in a family big enough to form its own soccer league means your wallet never gets a day off. Getting through college and coming home should feel like a breather, but it morphs into a running tab where every bill and every college dream comes with your name at the top. Suddenly, your savings are public news, and mom starts giving side-eye any time you buy a coffee or check your bank app. You start out just chipping in for rent, then get cast as the family's personal ATM.

Oldest sibling duty in a household this size gets treated like a full-time gig, but nobody seems to want to pay for it. Any cash you squirrel away turns into a reason for everyone to sigh and start listing bills out loud at dinner. When someone needs tuition, you're expected to just sign the check like it's your life's purpose.

That slow burn builds, and before you know it, you’re being blamed for everything from empty fridges to spoiled college dreams. The guilt trip is endless, and one day packing up and bouncing for a little peace is the only option left. If paying your siblings’ tuition were in the job description, maybe they’d at least offer health insurance. Some families think love is measured by how much you give up. Sometimes walking out is the only way not to go broke trying.
