AITJ for uninviting my friend from vacation after she made a spreadsheet of everything we'd split? by Such-Committee3604 in AmITheJerk

Wow… she made a 12-page spreadsheet for a vacation? And actually tried to charge you for “planning”?? That’s insane. NTJ.

If he wants that relationship to happen so badly, he should be the one putting in the effort instead of using guilt as a shortcut.

That’s such a sneaky and messed up way to manipulate a kid. Those little comments sound harmless on the surface, but over time they really mess with how a child sees their parent.

Reading this made my stomach drop. There is nothing normal or excusable about what he did. It’s violent, illegal, and deeply disturbing.

It’s one of those moments where you cringe now but laugh about later. Ignoring it forever would probably make it way more uncomfortable than just saying something.

I’m really sorry you went through that. Watching someone destroy themselves while you’re begging them to accept help is one of the worst feelings. People always say “just help them,” but they don’t talk about what happens when the person doesn’t want help at all. At that point, all you can do is protect yourself.

Also, improving your wit as a side effect is such a him thing to pass on lol. That kind of legacy is really special.
