My brother is getting married overseas and I’m desperate to go with my two kids. Family means everything to me, but my partner? He’s turned this into a financial tug-of-war. He says I can only take the kids if I buy him a shed or meet his list of demands—none of which have anything to do with our kids’ safety or happiness. He’s never even wanted to go to family events before, but now suddenly it’s about what he’s missing out on and what I haven’t bought him. Meanwhile, I’m left feeling guilty for wanting to support my brother and torn apart by his emotional blackmail. How do you even begin to deal with someone who turns every important moment into a negotiation over money and control? I’m exhausted and honestly, I just want to scream. What would you do if you were in my shoes? 😩🤯 #FamilyDrama #FinancialControl #RelationshipStruggles #EmotionalBlackmail #RomanticRelationships
