A woman’s father gave her and her fiancé $15,000 as a no-strings-attached gift to help buy their first home. After they put the money toward closing costs, he suddenly demanded it back to help his girlfriend’s son with legal trouble. Returning it would mean losing the house and thousands in fees.
Now, she’s torn between keeping her dream home and preserving her relationship with her dad, who accuses her of “choosing a house over family.” Reddit users overwhelmingly sided with her, emphasizing that a gift is a gift and criticizing the father for prioritizing his girlfriend’s son over his own daughter.
