After everything they did to OP, the father had the audacity to demand another house from OP?!? I despise parents who play favoritism... NEVER anger the unwanted child. Karma decimates those with malicious and selfish hearts.
Pfft! Who didn’t see that coming. Bad idea to pledge that money to the parents without any accountability, but at least OP wasn’t stuck with the mortgage or the damage to his credit as a result.
A friend of mine has this theory that some parents have a child they don't really see as equal to their other kids and is just valuable to them as a resource. She calls it "responsible child syndrome" where that kid's competence is weaponized against them in favor of the favorites who are so coddled they can't function well and therefore give the parents the emotional boost of being needed by the coddled ones. You see this all the time with the kids who do the heavy lifting with caring for parents in their old age and who are shocked Mom and Dad leave most or everything to their other kids. My friend who came up with this theory is the one of three kids who earns the least but the others can't manage their finances and found out shes only in the will as the executor. She found out when she was helping them deal with old papers as they were downsizing. Like the OP in this story she stopped being the one to sacrifice for the parents and guess what - the golden kids didn't pick up her slack.

Yes! Some people are so hypocritical that it makes me outraged.
Parents are wrong you don’t ask your child for a house just because they help that’s wat parents are suppose to do
I agree

Yeah.. I was expecting it from the beggining
It sounds like the cash cow has fled
Good point
You should sue your father for the extra mortgage money he pocketed. You may not even win but just to keep him on his toes
Not easy to do, but yes. thats fair
Dont bite the hand that feeds
Wise words
OP's friends are their new family!
Yes. Sometimes friends are better than family
Friends are the familie we choose for ourselves. I don't know who said that originally, but it always stuck with me.

Interesting theory... for me it makes sense. I think this dinamic happen to many many couples.
OP is a fool. He should have placed the mortgage in his own name.
Big mistake indeed
hire someone from community college that took an interior decorator course ...for help...they can be reasonable if you discuss before work starts..
Wouldvbe been a better idea
So the OP was the 'other' child?
If OP was so ignored, wtf did he buy a house for them??
Doormat
He had some mental issues I suppose
Lol 😂
