What is WRONG WITH THE FAMILY IN THIS STORY. Darren literally "borrowed" money from family members and did not pay them back while living a life of luxury. Plus with all the evidence, there was no way Darren ever started a buisness. AND THEY ARE STILL DEFENDING HIM!!? I hope OP just goes NC with the family.
No, what is wrong with the OP. How are you so dumb, so spineless, that you keep loaning money to the fool. Nah, OP is a moron. I hope she gets frauded out of more money.
I completely agree! It’s shocking how the family turned a blind eye to Darren’s actions while he enjoyed a lavish lifestyle at OP's expense. It really shows how toxic loyalty can be when it overshadows accountability. I think going no contact might be the best move for OP. Sometimes you have to prioritize your well-being over family ties, especially when they’re supporting someone who’s taking advantage of you
You also don't need enemies when you are dumb enough to give frauds like these money multiple times while they promise to play you back. How is that different then expecting a gambling degen to pay you back or a drug addict to not spend money to get their fix. Shame on you OP for being that dumb after the first $3000 loaned. The fact you gave $7k more, than another on top of that should be grounds for ruling you having an extra chromosome or two.
I screamed YES when you mentioned lawyer…. Like they think they’re smart and because they get away with things it will always be the same….. No bro you might be special in your house but you ain’t S*** in court and in front of the judge especially if someone has evidence against you…….
Fair play is fair play because of the fact that if the roles were reversed, the OP's brother would have been hounding her for payment of the loan as soon as possible, so no one should get upset about the OP demanding her money back in reference to her family for any reason whatsoever.
The level of entitlement Darren has is insane, OP. Your family really let him get away with so much while making you feel guilty for standing up for yourself. I can’t even imagine how hard it must have been to go through all this, especially with them acting like his actions weren’t a big deal. You’re 100% in the right here-$177,000 isn’t pocket change! I’m glad you followed through with the lawsuit, even if it meant losing some family relationships. They clearly weren't valuing you the way they should.
Reminds me of someone whom we helped. We let him in as "working student" but I let him call my mom as "mom", told my mom to prioritize his needs (things for school) instead of mine, etc. I don't want him to feel an outsider. Years later, he acted like he's the legal child now. Demanding and acting bossy. He act so kind, hardworking, and fragile when mom's around. But he's soooooo lazy when mom's not around. He just let the other female working student do all the work! Mom always defend him coz of his two faced personality. She only sees the good side only. She didn't know he's a leech with multiple masks on.
This is why if it was me, I’d have a legal drawn up contract to be signed as well as a recording of the initial conversation. That way when they come back asking to “borrow” money again, the contract gets brought up and he answer “No” will be constant. If harassment continues, lawyer will be contacted. Don’t care if i makes me the black sheep. I’ll gladly take the title. Better than being used “when I’m needed” and tossed away “when I’m not”. The whole BS of “family helps family” can suck the world’s most sour lemon
If I was op and my aunt screamed at me to give him the money I would’ve been like “oh so you’re yelling at when I have the choice to give the money away, as a matter in fact if you guys want him to have the money so bad split it up and give it to him I’m not giving him the money and if you try to force me and don’t give me my money back I’m taking you to court”
This is stupid you should have called the cops the first time for fraud and scamming and gave them his adress and givethem purchase evidence so they can line the event up them take him to court
1:00 at that point I would literally cuss my whole family out, and most probably sue him for what he’s done already done owed me 3k on top of that lied about the business now owes 10k and he probably won’t pay back so yeah and then I’d move away from them, people need to stand up for themselves in these stories
I had this old timer tell me the phrase "blood is thicker than water" is actually backwards meaning that you will drown easier since it's thicker. I don't know if that's true, or even right. But it made sense to me
I know this is random but that green spaghetti dish at 2:41, my mom forced me to eat that at a resturant when I was six and I climbed on the table and threw the biggest fit.
Would suggest going Low Contact with your family, its Clear from their behavior IN and OUT of court that He is more important to them, even going so far as to LIE for him in court while knowing they could face Prison in their golden years if that was held against them.
OP, this whole situation with Darren is so unfair to you. It’s beyond frustrating that your family would rather protect him than acknowledge the blatant truth you brought to the table. The fact that they kept pushing the “family helps family” card when Darren was just using you is ridiculous. You were so right to take him to court, and while it sucks that it caused such a rift, it sounds like you’re the only one seeing things clearly here. I hope they realize how wrong they were!
The first 7k id understand getting pressured… but the second? Girl, aint no way you let them do that to you. Shoulda told them to fund his business ventures
If family is more important than money they wouldn’t have taken the money knowing that you earned it, knowing that family comes first. It’s like saying to run 100 meters saying that they will do it too, never do it, and then say to do it again, and everyone says it’s about family coming first.
Yeah, your relationship with your family is forever changed for the better. How did we get so many toxic families? Give and take is okay. Not take take take and never give.
Ops a donut for giving the money in the first place.. If a loan 3K and none has been paid back.. Im nothing throwing another 14K at the same person.. Wtf 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️.. I could at least consider the first 7K if he had already been paying the 3K down.. ANDDDD after seeing an actual business plan and everything.. Not just giving thousands for a verbal business plan.. For a business name that doesn't even exist.. This Op was dum lol....
It’s wild how the family put pressure on the narrator to keep lending money, even after they were burned before. It shows how some families can prioritize loyalty over accountability. I think it’s crucial to set boundaries, even with family. You can love them but still protect yourself from being taken advantage of. What’s your take on that?
1st of all - we should all keep our finances private. They shouldn't have known that OP had that money to begin with. 2nd - "family" is important but it doesn't mean we should allow ourselves to be abused or that we should allow them to bully us to do whatever they want. You are an adult and you do not have to do what mom & dad tell you to do.
If I was the woman that I would be like it's just money I swear I'll be so mad that I could break a chair and family is more important then money 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬👊👊👊👊👊🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
this is terrible, I mean, the worst part is you can't even like call the cops, I don't think because unless there's like a written agreement, I don't think that it's like considered anything, also, it's just as terrible how they're like, oh, well, you know, it's just money, if it's just money, why don't they just give him the 17000 dollars, then the whole thing
Wow op is pathetic sorry no sorry I always do feel bad but by the end I’m like why didn’t you do this from the get go I do t understand how weak people could be when it comes to family lol I’m glad mine sucked from the beginning lol
Cousin changed to brother early in the story.
Rly??
I was wondering if I was the only person who noticed.
Yup. Probably "stolen" from another channel hence the change.
Stopped watching at that point, dumb AI slop I usually don't mind but this just breaks immersion of the fiction tale
Some cultures refer to cousins as siblings. My cousin sister, my cousin brother etc.

So why didnt they give him money. They depending on a young adult to carry the burden of the family. But never supported op is cruel.

What luxury car can you buy with less than $17,000 the cheapest one you can start out with is 38,000 to 45,000
Probably put alot of money down, and is making payments or something.
Prob had money on the side from the other family to cover the rest
Down payment
If I was op and my aunt screamed at me to give him the money I would’ve been like “oh so you’re yelling at when I have the choice to give the money away, as a matter in fact if you guys want him to have the money so bad split it up and give it to him I’m not giving him the money and if you try to force me and don’t give me my money back I’m taking you to court”

17k cannot buy nothing, a "luxury car" extremely well furnished "furniture" i know this isn't the issue but you should've be lying about that.
if family is more important than money, the family should have given the money back. they could easily afford it.
I like how her cousin is also her brother..
LMAO
Blood does not always mean family.
I had this old timer tell me the phrase "blood is thicker than water" is actually backwards meaning that you will drown easier since it's thicker. I don't know if that's true, or even right. But it made sense to me

Shouldn’t the uncle have went to jail? I mean he lied to the judge that’s a crime right?

Funny how the title says golden child "cousin" but once the 2nd 7k is given it's the golden child brother.

You are a doormat sue him for the money.
I would have said “ well Daren ,you broke a promise!thats not was family does now do they!”
Darren is under ZERO pressure
fun fact family ISN'T more important than money...specially if THIS is your family
How does he think the way of “making things right” is by taking more money from you?

one question: how did he buy a luxury car with 17k 💀💀
You can’t buy a car with 17k let alone a high end one
what happened to op starving just to save that money, to save it again op might have to starve again.
If family helps family then why don’t they help him

17k for a luxury car
how does this man get any story with a redit post
17k is like 1 and a half years of rent in Germany

And how do you buy a luxury car with $17000 anyways??

Okay cousin to brother screaming at me nope
Let me guess Darren is the youngest
Didn’t OP’s family already disown her/him?
just ask them to give money what darren owned to famaliy
Why you go back and forth between cousin and brother
Yo wait isn’t this normal, -the loans but the rest is normal right?
