The original poster (OP) is facing a significant financial betrayal where the college inheritance intended for them was given to their older sister by their parents.
This action has led the OP to feel devastated and wrongfully accused of being selfish and ruining a family holiday when voicing their distress over the missing funds.
Given the parents' current offer of $10,000 against the original $80,000 inheritance, the core question remains: Should the OP accept this significantly reduced compensation to resolve the conflict, or is upholding the terms of the grandfather's inheritance essential, even if it means maintaining the current state of family estrangement?
