AITA For Refusing To Let My Brother Live In My Apartment For Free Just Because We're Family? Then My Parents Came To My Apartment And Kicked Down The Door So My Brother Could Come In
-----
A 27-year-old woman, after years of hard work, bought her own apartment and found peace living alone. When her 22-year-old brother asked to stay with her temporarily, she agreed—on the condition that he contribute a small amount toward groceries and follow basic house rules. He refused, calling her selfish, and spread a twisted version of events to their extended family, who quickly turned against her.

Things escalated when her brother—helped by their parents—broke into her apartment while she was at work, literally kicking the door in. They justified it by claiming they had "helped" her buy the apartment years ago with a $500 gift. Her brother moved in without permission and refused to leave, even mocking her when she confronted him. She left for a hotel and called the police.

With her lawyer friend’s help, she filed reports for trespassing and property damage. The police removed her brother, but the fallout from the family was brutal. To make things worse, her brother later tried to sue her for $10,000, claiming emotional trauma and damage to "familial ties." She and her lawyer responded with documented evidence, including witness statements and police reports, threatening a countersuit. The case was quickly dropped.

He later tried to reach out, saying he didn’t mean for things to go that far. She ignored him. What began as a simple boundary became a legal battle against entitled family members who mistook kindness for weakness. She now has her home—and her peace—back, but her relationship with her family will never be the same.
