I (16M) Live in a house with a ton of people Dad (37M), Stepmom (39F), 2 Little brothers (11M,13M) and my grandmother (65F). We live with her because after my dad got divorced his business wasn't doing to well and he couldn't get on his feet. Not such a big deal. My family has always struggled with money. I've tried go fund me because I didn't like how we are in the situation we are in. To no avail.
My Grandmother Has always had some resentment to my 13y brother Sam. He can be a pain yes and he can be manipulative. my parents were in a toxic relationship so its not his fault. Today was a final straw of my grandma being the way she was towards everyone my parents me Sam and Caleb 11y.
Sam always wanted a cirkul water bottle like the one you see MR. Beast promotes. We went to Walmart today for some things we need. My brother wanted to ask for the water bottle. Dad said no. We are going through a hard time right now. we needed essentials. My grandma took this opportunity. She bought herself one. "I wanted to see what the fuss is all about."
Sam looked crushed. I couldn't stand to see his face like that. We left the store and I let loose as soon as I saw the tears in Sam's eyes. I yelled at her asking if she ever thought of anyone other than herself and how the things she does that are nice she expects something in return. I told her it was bad enough My dad and us boys are used as work horse's around her hoarder house. I got in the car slammed the door and told Sam I'd buy him a bottle when I can.
The car was silent on the way home. And I haven't spoken to her for a few hours. So am I the asshole?
