My Parents Canceled My 18th Birthday To Please My Entitled Sister, So I Moved Out With Grandpa Who Then Cut Them Off Financially For Good.

The narrator's 18th birthday was canceled last minute by their parents to accommodate their entitled older sister, who was upset about a canceled trip to New York. The parents, who have always favored the sister, canceled the party without informing the narrator, lying to the guests by claiming the narrator was ill. Hurt and furious, the narrator confronted the family, leading to a heated argument. The sister defended the cancellation, saying it was unfair for the narrator to celebrate while she was upset. Things escalated into a physical altercation between the siblings.

During the chaos, their grandfather arrived, overheard the situation, and was furious. He revealed he had been financially supporting the family for years, including paying for the birthday party, and was disgusted by how the parents treated the narrator. Outraged, the grandfather cut off financial support and offered the narrator a place to stay, which they accepted, leaving the parents to fend for themselves.

The parents, realizing the consequences of losing their financial backing, attempted to apologize, but the narrator saw through their insincerity. They claimed they favored the sister because she was "more delicate" and expected the narrator to be strong enough to handle being overlooked. Still, the narrator stood firm, setting a condition for any reconciliation: the sister must move out. The parents refused, and the narrator cut ties with them.

Later, the sister attempted to confront the narrator again, which resulted in another physical fight. With the help of a friend, the narrator managed to handle the situation. Over time, the narrator thrived living with their supportive grandfather, who revealed the long-standing resentment the parents held toward the narrator, even admitting they originally didn't want a second child. The extended family, learning the truth, also distanced themselves from the parents.

Meanwhile, the sister eventually moved out on her own, and the narrator continued moving forward with their life. They attended college with the grandfather’s support, strengthened their relationship with him, and found happiness, finally free from the toxic family dynamics.
