[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 701981, member: 16024"] My step-dad has a brother that did well for himself, and all of his extended family would continually ask for money. I don't know if he cut everyone off, but I know he cut my step-siblings off years ago. They were angry when it finally happened. They had grown so accustomed to getting free money from the Bank of Uncle S that they felt it was in some way due to them. They seemed to think that he had a never-ending supply of money and that they were entitled to some of it. He, of course, was tired of being used as everyone's ATM, but they didn't seem to get that. Sad thing is, his adult daughter is fighting a battle with a very deadly type of cancer, and the relatives are nowhere to be found. If you have everyone on social media, you might think about putting out something saying that because of your daughter's and other relative's battles with illness, you are going to need to reserve any extra money you have to help them directly with their treatments, and won't be participating in any extra gift giving foreseeable future.
