I Saved 3 Years for My Dream Car, My Brother Destroyed It in Hours

Описание: At forty-two, I finally bought my dream car—a brand-new Tesla Model S Plaid that I'd saved for three years to afford. When my younger brother begged to borrow it for an important meeting, I reluctantly said yes. He totaled it in one day, causing sixty thousand dollars in damage. But his response to destroying my dream car revealed something far more devastating than the crash itself: a lifetime of family dysfunction I'd been enabling.
This is the story of how one catastrophic moment forced me to confront forty-two years of being the "responsible one," of watching my brother get away with everything while I sacrificed constantly, and of finally learning that the most loving thing you can do is refuse to enable bad behavior—even when it's family.
