Reply To: Do I give money to my siblings from an apartment in my and my sister’s name?

Fuuuuuuck no absolutely do not give your parents a single cent. You already know they won’t “keep it safe”, but instead will spend it on themselves. Go to a reputable bank or investment firm and get it put into the right kind of account in your siblings’ names only, and explain you want your parents to never be able to touch it. Good for you for listening to your instincts.

Again, I recommend counseling if you can get access to it at low/no cost to help you sort out the skewed views developed from your parents’ manipulation, and to determine what (if any) relationship you want with them going forward. Kids don’t automatically owe their parents money, support, obedience, or even respect or love. It’s ok to set boundaries, say “no”, or back away from the relationship.
