A man in his 40s feels resentment towards his wealthy father for financially supporting his siblings while neglecting him. Despite working hard and living comfortably, he questions his father's lack of help in paying down his mortgage. Dear Abby suggests viewing the situation differently, implying that the father's support fosters dependence rather than independence. She encourages the man to communicate openly with his father about his feelings and to recognize his own achievement in being self-sufficient compared to his siblings who rely on their father's wealth.
Perhaps it's time to step back and view this situation from a different perspective. You seem to think your father is doing your sister and brother a favor by subsidizing their lifestyles.
Your father may be under the impression that you can comfortably pay your mortgage off by yourself. Stop fuming and have an honest talk with him.
