The Original Poster (OP) is facing a significant breach of trust and financial expectation after discovering their promised wedding fund was given to their stepsister to cover pandemic-related losses.
The OP's primary emotional conflict stems from feeling betrayed by their parents, especially given that all other siblings have already received their dedicated funds, while the parents insist the OP has no right to be upset over their unilateral decision regarding what was perceived as dedicated savings.
Given that the parents have already allocated the OP's dedicated funds based on perceived need and the fiancé's family's wealth, is the OP's anger justified regarding the v***ation of a long-standing agreement, or should they accept the decision as the parents' prerogative over their own money, despite the resulting impact on their own wedding plans?
