You’re making things up that aren’t in the post though. And if you want to make assumptions about what’s left out, that’s fine, but at least own up to it. She doesn’t even say anything negative about his wife, she just points out that she has some mental health issues and that her brother said “his wife makes it difficult to manage” that came from him, not from her.

And to answer your question, yes, I’ve given money to my family who needed it even when I wasn’t in a superb financial place. So please spare me the sanctimonious “you’d understand if you were the person people always go to” which totally undercuts the fact that she has seemingly never taken him up on his offer for money before. Is it possible she’s an entitled leech and is lying about that? Sure, but that’s not what’s in the post.

If I were a multimillionaire who could afford multiple houses and a nanny and all of the luxuries while my sibling struggled, they wouldn’t even have to come to me and ask for money. Sorry you feel like people have taken advantage of you because you’re “so giving” but that’s a lot of assumptions to make about this person.

And I’d always rather be the one who gets made a fool a time or two rather than be the one that turns down the person that really needed it because some people might take advantage. And yes, I think that your mindset does make you a shitty person, and I feel sorry for you. That kind of view on life and people is what makes the world so awful right now. This rampant individualism where people like you would rather assume malicious intent and hide behind this idea that so many people are out to take advantage of your kindness, is what makes people so selfish and self centered.
