Am I justly upset with my parents??
So, I quit my well paying job 2 years ago to do this school thing. An effect of that is that I had to make some sacrifices. I sold my house and moved to a cheap place near the campus. I got a job tutoring for peanuts at a local community college. Recently I decided to sell my car that I purchased new about 2 years ago. Anyway, long story short, I put it up for sale and got a ton of offers, then my parents said that they wanted it. So I sold it to them for a few thousand under what other offers were. Now I am essentially car-less, as my other car is a 1990 POS that suffered from much decay while being not driven. I'm going to basically junk it for parts whenever I get the time.
So, my parents have a car that's of the year 2000 or so, but they NEVER drive it, so it has something like 3000 miles on it. Right after buying my car where I took a loss, they gave this one to my complete deadbeat sister who is going to sell her perfectly fine car, that they also purchased for her. I hear from my sister every holiday, and I'm sure my parents never hear from her unless she needs money. They've practically paid all of her bills for the past year since she can't keep a job.
I told them that I would pay them blue-book for their low-mileage car if they wanted to sell it after buying mine. I do everything for them mind you. I can't believe they would just give the car to my sister!
I'm annoyed that my sister essentially uses them for beer money and rent. They aren't exactly young, my parents are in their late 60's and it's frustrating to watch her take advantage of them. It was disgraceful to me until now, but now it sort of effected me. Not like I expected them to give me the car, I fully planned on buying some barely running piece of crap to get me by. But still... Am I wrong for feeling this way? If so, tell me so I can realize what an idiot I am and forget the whole thing.
