The idea of a kid suing their parents might seem kind of crazy and depending on which culture you come from, pretty darn ungrateful. After all, they were the people who brought you into this world and presumably fed you, clothed you, housed you, and raised you.
Of course, it could also be argued that if your kid grows up to want to sue you, it's probably a result of one of three things: you either did a crumby job raising them, they got influenced by some type of external groups of people/ideologies that turned them into scumbags, or, you deserved it.
And there are a lot of Redditors who believe the latter is the case for this one woman, who said that she ended up suing her family for college money that was left to her by her great-aunt. According to @Accomplish_Bar5656, she comes from a cultural background that doesn't really put a lot of emphasis on female education.
OP's Great Aunt thought that was a bunch of malarkey so she made sure to leave behind a ton of money for various female relatives so they could use it to go to school. OP's mother and father had access to these funds and decided it wasn't a big deal if they needed some of the cash to pay for other things, like her brother's wedding.
She only discovered this when it was time for her to go to school and saw that there was only about $13,000 left of her cash share to go to college. Livid, she took out loans and moved out of her parent's house. She says that as a result she's become the "shame" of her family as a result.

Nor did it concern you personally, yet you sling around these black and white accusations about the aunt. These people were immigrants with English as a second language, and you are sneering about how easy it would have been to set up a trust. Aren’t you special. The aunt’s intentions and memory were disrespected and the girl got hosed by her parents.
And oh, by the way, “the law is an ass.”—Charles Dickens
I am going on what is written in the article, so written facts rather then indulging in wild speculation and stating untruths as excuses. If you were a thinking person you would understand that.
Listen drama queen, I’m not sneering, just pointing out facts. If you’re so concerned about this family, I suggest you write a check for the girl’s tuition yourself.
Until then, you and your precious attitude can kiss off.
Aww, is du widdle feeeeeewings huwt?
Not a chance. Grow up.
