Not long ago, this 19-year-old man signed a lease on an Apartment.

He bought everything for his new apartment himself, as well as started the process of moving all of his belongings into his place.

Throughout this big life transition, his parents have supported him and are proud of him for moving into an apartment by himself. They helped him hire some movers, which he greatly appreciated.

However, issues have arisen related to his little brother, Ethan.

“My brother Ethan is extremely autistic. He will sometimes have a meltdown if we don’t do things the way he wants to and is non-verbal 87% of the time. He was a miracle baby but had to stay in the hospital for two weeks after his birth,” he said.

While he loves Ethan, his parents have tried to force him into the role of a 24/7 babysitter, and he acknowledged that that’s not what he is to Ethan.

Before he officially moved, his parents asked if this past Friday he’d be able to bring his brother along during the designated move-in day, and they insinuated that they wanted Ethan to also live with him.

He froze and asked them to repeat their request.

“I quickly explained that I don’t have the money or time for him, as I have a job and a girlfriend, and I’m going off to college. But as I explained my disdain, they said it was only for a little bit, and they needed a ‘break,'” he explained.

Understandably, he was irritated with this because he had been caring for Ethan his entire life, and now his parents were asking for him to continue doing so even when he was in the process of moving into his own apartment.

Instead of giving his parents a definitive answer, he said that he needed to think through their request and he would get back to them.

“On Saturday, I texted them no, but my worst fears were confirmed when they blew up my phone with calls and then tried to enter my apartment while I was there. Luckily, my neighbors protected me,” he shared.

Even though his parents want Ethan to live with him, supposedly for a short-term basis, Ethan doesn’t seem to have an opinion either way on the matter. His parents have told him that they want him to allow Ethan to live with him because they want to have some time to themselves.

After the chaos, some of his relatives and friends of their family have texted him and called him a jerk.

What would you have done if you were in his shoes?
