Update on the second story: UPDATE: Y'all. I don't even know what to say besides thank you. You have been... clear and generous and demonstrated ALL the sense I was lacking. I realize I was brought up, in a way, to think all this was normal. Until the past week, I thought it was. So to the update: mom's sibling has been a storm of getting things done. I guess there's been an unspoken awareness in the family of the way I've taken on so much and my meltdown was not a massive surprise. I've had several texts of "hey you take care of you, we got this." Nice but like ... where was this especially the last 10 years? She and mom are actually investigating assisted living. Mom told her she doesn't want to become a burden. (Insert eye roll?) In any event, they are copying me on websites and stuff. I'm staying home with no plans to go down. I feel regret. It feels wrong not to be there. But I'm also feeling relief. I realize what many of you said - it wasn't the money, it was the idea she had no thought about taking care of me or acknowledging me as much as my brother. She's my mom. But also, it feels awful that she's parentfied me and infantilized my brother and that would be her last message to us. My mom's sister texted me that there are life insurance policies for my kids to cover a chunk of college and that mom's funeral and all that is prepaid. She didn't have to break the expectation of confidentiality and tell me (and here I am telling Reddit) - and I'm so glad she did. It gave me some peace to know she thought of the kids. I guess this was the breakdown that changed the way of things for me. I'm sad in someways but free in others. It will take awhile but I think the biggest lesson here was that I did this to myself and my family by jumping to someone else's tune. I've apologized to my spouse and there's been a shift between us for the better. I guess I'm growing a spine? Mom doesn't know I had this crisis. Her sister just told her that I'm extremely busy and can't come down and that anyway mom should let others help once in a while. Mom was calling to see if everything was ok because that sounded odd to her and especially since I didn't tell her myself (... and be told I was abandoning her?) I texted mom that I hoped her sister was helping and she said 'yes thank you'. It's a start. To those of you that guessed there would be some nastiness - yes, there has. My dad (of all people!!) called and told me to 'let up on my brother'. I was completely confused until he said that my brother is brokenhearted that I broke my promise (huh?) to go help mom and was suggesting he needs to go. I told him it's true I'm not going but I haven't talked to my brother and it's not my job to tell my brother what to do. My mom's eldest sibling put in the family group chat (that is usually 100% birthday greetings and funny memes) that they and their spouse are highly concerned that mom isn't being taken care of and that sometimes "neglect is abuse" and people don't realize. My moms youngest sib sent a screenshot of the cost of a fight for the eldest' hometown to moms closest airport. Group chat is now silent. I laughed hysterically. Thank you all for being there best of Reddit community. I don't know if there will be another update so I want to take this moment and appreciate you. SMALL UPDATE: Sometimes, the Reddit community is empathy and strength in the best way. You all gave me the clarity of perspective and I'm sorry I couldn't reply to everyone individually. BUT before I could talk myself out of it, I texted my mom's youngest sibling and told her I was tapping out. I ranted a bit. A lot. She bought a plane ticket and is going down to help mom. She completely understood and was super supportive. She told me that mom has been having memory issues and is planning to move to assisted care. OK.... she said she's going make that a priority when she's down to help. Technically she's my aunt but I never knew her growing up but it was nice to feel like a family member had my back. I don't know if she told mom or shared my texts but mom has been calling. I muted her. I don't know what happens next but I think a good night's sleep is definitely first. Thank you again for being a clear voice.

@@adamb89 I disagree. I think that unless the golden child is developmentally disabled, then they know full well that their parent disregards the Scapegoat sibling. Kids pick up on things like that quickly, especially when the favoritism is so patently obvious. My egg donor was the same way with her step kids. She wanted their father so badly, that she was eager to put me through ANY hell in order to keep him. (Not like that was new for her.. my whole life I've been nothing more than a shield, sword, bargaining chip, or tool for her to abuse. Anything for men, alcohol and drugs...) and within a week they (a then 7 and 9 year old) picked up the clues quickly and they reveled in it. OPs brother knows full well he is the golden bitch, and he takes advantage of it. Besides, you don't get to a place of "mommy dearest wants me to bankrupt my family making me her full time nurse slave, in order to save every penny for my ne'er-do-well brother who forgot she is still alive" without a bunch of degrading steps in between. OPs only response to her "mother" should be "I've already drained my savings, my kids college funds and my retirement to take care of an ungrateful old bag. Now that she's dead, I need to focus on rebuilding my savings and college funds. So, Unless you would like to deposit that 250k into my account to replenish what we wasted on you, you'll have to just rely on the only child you claim you have." And leave it at that. Anytime family texts OP, remind them that she went bankrupt supporting HER mother, and that if they want her to go into further debt taking care of ne'er-do-well's mother, then they will have to reimburse her those costs up front before any work is done. Ignore the "mother", and ignore he rest.of the "family" too.

Story 3: As someone who used to HAVE to shop in thrift stores just to have decent clothes to wear, I can attest that resellers are the absolute worst! These people actively try to take clothes intended to help less fortunate people who can't afford high-end brands and resell them at high markup. That's the problem. Clothes in thrift shops are HEAVILY discounted so people who normally wouldn't be able to afford them CAN afford them. Then you get moochers like these coming in and buying them up IN BULK at said discounted prices, which they take and resell online for exorbitant amounts! I cannot emphasize this enough that they do this for their own profit and are literally robbing low-income people of decent clothing! That's why everybody hates resellers and why they're saying that they're ruining thrift stores. Totally NTA! I would've done the exact same thing and actually have just to spite these people because I used to be low income.
@ZxceelxuzАй бұрын
I'd like to add it isn't even just about clothes alone. Many resellers also go after basic household necessities that are discounted at thrift stores. Pots and pans, plates, etc. I've seen people on local Facebook marketplace groups regularly trying to pawn off many household items you know they scooped at a thrift shop and trying to get near retail pricing. Then there's the scalpers that go after new release material like anything Pokémon related or numerous other brands/franchises. They will abuse bot systems online to scoop up preorders for everything and then try to get triple the retail price off avid fans who missed out.

2nd story: The reason OP lost all motivation to help her mom upon finding out she was not in the will wasn't because she only took care of her for money. But rather because OP wasted so much of her own money to help her. Both travel expenses and taking time off work would have costed her a lot over the years. But on top of that she also did tons of free labor for her while she was taking care of her. To do all that for a person and then find out that they don't value you or your time at all would break anyone.

We had a strict rule that they weren't to hassle us as we put out the merch and they still would. The one time that pisses me off is we had 5, FIVE, Google home devices out, and we have a two day policy for employees buying things, this one reseller who was eventually banned at my former location short stocked(his) all five in various places and then systematically came back and gathered them, cuz like hey, Hell, I didn't want ONE of them. The worst part is something is on the racks for like $10 for a name-brand, they'll buy and superinflate the price on eBay later.
