Redditor Labeled ‘Selfish’ For Refusing To Take Care Of Disabled Cousin At Every Family Gathering

This world is a mean place for those who have a good heart. Chances are if you carry empathy in your heart and are generally good with other people, the world will walk over you and take advantage of you until and unless you learn to set boundaries and learn to say no. This Reddit user shares their story of being taken advantage of by their family and once they tried to stand up for themselves, the whole family turned against them.

An anonymous person recently took to Reddit to share that they have been taking care of a disabled cousin for years now. However, this has become a tradition now and the family expects the person to do this at every family gathering.

Now OP clears that they love spending time with the cousin but at the same time it can be mentally draining. So, this one time, OP decided to draw a line and invited their father and uncle to spend time with the cousin while the OP mingled with other relatives.

But the OP's actions do not sit well with the family and relatives and family members call out OP for being a mean person to play such a trick.
