[quote=Anonymous]Smaller numbers, but I was in a little bit of a similar situation with my sister.   Through her twenties and most of her thirties, she worked in basically a non-profit role and my dad subsidized her by paying her credit card bills for years.  Initially it bothered me but I realized I was better off being independent and having a well-paying professional job.

Then she wanted to get a professional masters degree and I encouraged my dad to pay for it.  I had a good job and didn’t need his money.  He could easily cover the tuition.

When he passed away, the estate was split evenly.  But while he was alive, he gave to her as he chose.   We all maintained good relationships with each other.

In your shoes op, I’d let it go.  Count your blessings.   You have parents who are still alive and it sounds like they are still healthy, as are all the siblings.  That is such a blessing.  And your parents are well-off enough to give a child $1m and still have money for themselves.   You all are so fortunate.  Work on being grateful for what your family has. You are so far better off than the vast majority of people in this planet.   [/quote]
