This disabled vet just exposed the most ridiculous family inheritance scam I’ve ever heard. His brother lives in their parents’ paid-off house with his two kids, taking up three bedrooms and paying only $600 a month for taxes. Meanwhile, houses in that area rent for $2600-$3200.

The brother works ten days a month, smokes weed constantly, and gambles at casinos. But when our vet finally gets healthy enough to travel after years of severe disability, suddenly he’s the villain destroying their “family budget.”

His mom wants him to pay $150 monthly toward the brother’s taxes because he’ll supposedly inherit 25% of the house. The brother gets 50% because he’s “taking care” of the parents. But here’s the thing – the brother will never move out, and there’s no way to actually use that 25% inheritance.

This family inheritance scam gets worse. During his worst years – walking with a cane, on heavy pain meds, struggling as a single dad – his family offered zero help. No money, no childcare, nothing. They ignored him completely until he recovered.

Now he pays $3750 monthly for his own rent plus all his kids’ expenses, while they expect him to subsidize a grown man’s lifestyle. They want him to be a disabled vet, single dad, part-time landlord, emotional support son, and walking ATM all while staying home.

The comments nailed it – he shouldn’t pay anything while his parents still own the house, and honestly, this inheritance sounds more like a lifetime subscription to drama.
