Entitlements and Claims
Instead of heartfelt apologies or an emotional reunion, their message was shockingly blunt—Brad and Susan claimed I owed them for every success I’d achieved. “We gave you life,” the email stated, as if my mere existence hadn’t already settled that so-called debt. I was stunned by their entitlement. Until that moment, they had been nothing more than a distant memory, but now, like ghosts emerging from the past, they had forced their way into my present with demands and expectations they had no right to make.

Incredibly High Demands
Staring at the screen, my disbelief quickly turned to anger. Brad and Susan had the nerve to demand 50% of my earnings and assets, boldly declaring, “You’re doing well because of us.” The statement felt like a cruel joke, completely detached from the reality of the sacrifices and relentless effort I had poured into building my life. I immediately refused—there was no hesitation. I had never relied on handouts, and the audacity they showed in claiming credit for a success they had no part in was beyond anything I could fathom.
